New talent is found in every industry. For example, casino games don’t change much (for example, the payout rates in roulette are always the same), but from time to time, new and talented gamblers emerge who, with the right analysis and strategies, achieve “superstar” status. If you think you fit this description, you can test your skills by trying the German version of roulette: Germany is the country where the one-zero variant of this game originated.
It’s the same when it comes to soccer: football clubs are always on the lookout for new stars, and Liverpool FC has a well-deserved reputation in this regard. It is one of the first clubs that comes to mind when it comes to young talent, so let’s take a look at some of the hottest new talents the FC has selected for 2024.
1. Ben Doak

Position |
Right Winger or Left Winger |
|
Nationality |
Scotland |
Ben Doak is only 18 years old, but he is already being hailed as a future superstar. He has great pace and dribbling ability and is particularly good against defenders. He can create scoring opportunities at any moment of the match. He previously played for Ayr United FC and Celtic FC before moving to Liverpool in 2023. His minutes per goal stat is 254 and he has scored a total of 4 goals in the Premier League. He was added to the UEFA EURO 2024 squad in May 2024 but had to withdraw in June 2024 due to injury. His grandfather was also a famous footballer (Martin Doak), so he seems to be continuing the family tradition.
2. Stefan Bajcetic

Age / Height |
19 / 1.85 m |

Position |
Defensive Midfield |
|

Spain |
You might remember Bajtecic from Spain U18. He was playing for Celta Vigo Yout but transferred to Liverpool in 2022 and has already scored 3 goals in the Premier League. His minutes per goal statistic is an impressive 627. His midfield control is almost perfect, and he excels in tactical awareness. He missed most of the 2022-23 season through injury but has been active since August 2023 and has impressed in every game. He is the third youngest player to score a goal for Liverpool.
3. Trey Niyoni
|
Age / Height |
17 / 1.80 m |
|
Position |
Attacking Midfield |
|
Nationality |
Zimbabwe |
Niyoni caught the eye with his performances for Leicester U18s and moved to Liverpool in August 2023. He has scored 6 goals in the Premier League but his minutes per goal stat needs to improve a bit more, currently only 291. He is the youngest player to have played in the FA Cup and is known for being able to display the same level of skill with both feet – a very rare trait. He has a very balanced style of play and is one of Jürgen Klopp’s latest pupils. At the moment, he is one of the most promising players in the English leagues.
4. Bobby Clark
|
Age / Height |
19 / 1.78 m |
|
Position |
Central Midfield |
|
Nationality |
England |
After three years at Newcastle Youth, Clark caught the attention of Liverpool and moved to his new home in 2024. He already has a minutes per goal statistic of 668 and has scored 17 goals in the Premier League. These are pretty impressive stats, but not surprising considering his father was Birmingham City manager. Clark is the youngest player to score for Liverpool in European competitions, with BBC Sport naming him one of the “Rising Stars” in 2022.
5. Kone Doherty
|
Age / Height |
18 / 1.73 m |

Doherty joined Liverpool in 2022 after impressing in the FA Youth Cup and UEFA Youth League. He has already scored 19 goals in the Premier League and excels on both flanks. Many of his goals have been described as “spectacular” and he was voted the best young player in Serbia in 2022. Doherty has been playing football since the age of 6 and has only just started his international career: almost everyone agrees that he will be one of the biggest stars in the future.
