Liverpool have shown their faith in Ben Doak and his huge potential with a new long-term contract offered and signed by the young Scot.
The Echo’s Ian Doyle shared the update in question on Tuesday evening, with the club set to reward the player’s notable progress following his summer switch last year.
The former Celtic prodigy made just one appearance in a brief cameo at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season, although he is expected to play a more crucial role in the upcoming Europa League group stage. .
Jurgen Klopp’s men will face LASK – currently third in the Austrian Bundesliga – in their first European match of 2023/24 and many would no doubt be surprised if the 17-year-old wasn’t one of the first names on the team sheet. at the Raiffeisen-Arena.
Doak looked to be one of the most interesting players in our arsenal in pre-season, with his second-half performance against Darmstadt in particular demonstrating what promising talent we have at our disposal.
He’s someone we young teenagers naturally want to look after attentively, although there’s no reason why we shouldn’t all be a little giddy at the thought of seeing the Scotsman charging towards his right-wing man in Austria.
It must be said that this is a real setback for a player, although he will certainly be the future of Liverpool if they manage to maintain their upward trend.
Lee Dixon suggests Liverpool have a player who could explode this season
Lee Dixon claims Darwin Nunez is “good” at Liverpool and believes he should start under Jurgen Klopp.
Dixon spoke to NBC Sports and discussed Liverpool’s wealth of attacking options.
The Reds have made a bright start to the new season after making it four straight wins following an opening day draw at Stamford Bridge.
Jurgen Klopp has experimented with his three strikers so far this season, with Mohamed Salah the only constant on the right.
Darwin Nunez has only started one game in the league this season, but has made a notable impact off the bench.
The 23-year-old scored a memorable goal at St James’ Park before the international break but was left on the bench for Liverpool’s trip to Wolves on Saturday.
But Lee Dixon believes Nunez should start alongside Salah and Luis Diaz.
Speaking to NBC Sports, Dixon suggested that Nunez was about to explode for Liverpool.
He said: “I have a soft spot for Nunez, I think he will be good. I do. I like Gakpo too.
“I love Diaz too. So Diaz, Nunez and Salah, that’s what I would choose. But they are all good teams, you have to know how to mix it up a bit.”
Nunez had a difficult debut season at Liverpool last time out, as he regularly struggled to find the back of the net.
But the 23-year-old showed a lot of promise in the early stages of his Liverpool career. In fact, the Uruguay star has looked calmer so far this season and continues to contribute in the final third for Klopp’s men.
He faces a tough test when it comes to securing his place in the team. But it’s fair to say that Nunez offers Klopp something completely different in attack.
