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.

Robbie Fowler makes Mohamed Salah contract claim after Liverpool 'calculations'

Kop hero Robbie Fowler has offered his own insight on Mohamed Salah's Liverpool future as the Egyptian star rolls into the final 12 months of his current deal.

Salah enjoyed another stellar season for the Reds, finishing joint Premier League top goalscorer and picking up the PFA Footballer of the Year award. But as things stand, the global superstar will be a free agent this time next year and unless he signs a new contract in the coming months his incredible Liverpool career will be over. Furthermore, he will have followed fell Anfield great Sadio Mane out of the exit door - something that would rightly concern supporters.

But Fowler, who's prolific return for the Reds saw him nicknamed 'God' by the Kop in the 1990s, thinks that the Reds will still be weighing up the likely return on any future investment - as they did with Mane - should they even consider coming close to agreeing a deal that would satisfy Salah's wage demands.
