With preseason officially underway, much of the focus will be on the returning first-team players and in particular newsboys Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Meanwhile, some of Liverpool’s academy has some exciting talent joining the ranks for training and possibly heading to Germany next week.
Two years ago the Reds acquired Bobby Clark’s services from Newcastle United and the midfielder has proven to be an exciting prospect to watch.
The 18-year-old made his professional debut as a substitute in the 9-0 rout over Bournemouth back in August last year and this week Dan spoke with Caoimhe O’Neill for Expert Insight about what we can expect from the teenager going forward.
BOBBY FIRMINO: BEST IN THE WORLD
Caoimhe said:
“As soon as you watched him play you could say there’s a real talent. There are certain players that do carry that [swagger] with them onto the pitch and I think Ben Doak being one and Bobby Clark is another.
“Centre-midfielder, attacking midfielder, he can kind of just drop in and let run around the pitch. Maybe a loan move is the right thing for him. Even if a loan move doesn’t go well, it can still be a good experience.
“It will be interesting to see whether keeping him at the academy [would be the right call]. For Clark, a way to get higher up on the ladder would be to make that loan move.”

Redmen Reacts
You could add Bobby Clark to the list of ones to watch this upcoming season regarding his potential loan move or staying with the U21s to further his development.
Highly regarded by Jurgen Klopp and Pep Ljinders, a loan move to a Championship side could work wonders for the midfielder’s progress. At only 18 years old, the player has a long way to go, however, it will be fascinating to see how it all pans out over the coming weeks.
