The Reds’ transfer news as of late has included some of the finest names in world football, with the likes of Dayot Upamecano, Eder Militao, Perr Schuurs, and Milan Skriniar to name a few.
However, the club’s first bit of business this season has come in the surprising form of Birmingham City youngster Calum Scanlon, with the club reportedly agreeing on a six-figure deal for the 15-year-old to join the Reds’ academy.
An England youth international and Birmingham City academy starlet, Scanlon is a real talent in the eyes of Jurgen Klopp and the Reds to want to shell out that amount of money on the youngster – Klopp is clearly looking tot he future and it would be wise to do so considering the recent academy talent to break through into the first team this season with many names making a great impression on the fans.
Who is our best midfielder?
Gini Wijnaldum
Thiago
Fabinho
Jordan Henderson
Players such as Caoimhín Kelleher, Curtis Jones, Neco Williams, Rhys Williams, and Nat Phillips have all been impressive this season when called upon, with injuries to players such as Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Thiago, and Naby Keita at times had led to chances in the starting XI for the aforementioned five – with all of them slotting in extremely well into Klopp’s side.
The 15-year-old can play in the left side of defence and in midfield, with his versatility and talent something that could mold him into a fantastic player for the club. Football fans will instantly think towards former Birmingham youngster Jude Bellingham who joined Borussia Dortmund in the summer and has done extremely well, with the midlands club’s academy clearly doing something right with churning out some fantastic players as of late – and hopefully, Scanlon will do the same.
