Liverpool great Phil Thompson believes his old club have a wonderful player on their hands in the shape of Ben Doak.
The 17-year-old, who joined Liverpool in a £600,000 deal from Celtic last summer, hasn’t taken long to make his mark on Merseyside. Making his debut for Liverpool under-18s on August 13, the teenager’s first-team bow arrived only three months later against Derby County in a Carabao Cup tie at Anfield.
Three days later, he was on the bench for the Reds’ Premier League match with Southampton and followed up this whirlwind period by signing his first professional contract with the club. Doak then became the youngest Scottish footballer to feature in the Premier League when he came on for Darwin Nunez against Aston Villa at Villa Park in December.
