Liverpool set to sign exciting teenager as Julian Ward transfer trend continues

Derry City under-17 manager Gerald Boyle believes Trent Kone-Doherty has all the attributes to be a success with Liverpool ahead of his proposed move to the club next month.

Reports in Ireland claim that the youngster will officially join the Reds next month. Kone-Doherty is listed as a member of Derry’s first-team squad and made his debut earlier this year.

The teenager has also been capped eight times for Republic of Ireland’s Under 16 and Under 17 teams, scoring two goals. He is the latest addition as Liverpool’s youth recruitment continues to take a more localised approach following rules changes regarding youth signings due to Brexit.
