Over the span of the Premier League era, we have witnessed Liverpool create some amazing players. To mention a few, there are Steven McManaman, Robbie Fowler, Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen, and Steven Gerrard. After making their debuts in the 1990s, they all went on to become renowned Reds stars.
At the same period, people like Dominic Matteo and David Thompson also achieved success.
However, after graduating from the Academy, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones, and Caoimhin Kelleher are now essential members of Klopp’s first-team side.
Additionally, players like Stefan Bajcetic and Harvey Elliot were recruited for the youth levels while they were in their mid-teens.
Ben Doak, Bobby Clark, Conor Bradley, and Jarell Quansah are all aspiring to be the following players to make a decisive first-team move, so it doesn’t appear to stop there.
Fernando Torres, the player with the highest rating, did fulfill his hopes. When the Spaniard was acquired from Atletico Madrid in 2007 at £20 million, he set a new club record for signings.
As a result of his remarkable 81 goals in 142 appearances, he held the title of top striker in the world for three years. He also won the World Cup, European Championships, and Champions League.
But after a series of injuries, he infamously left for Chelsea in a £50 million transfer in January 2011. He finally announced his retirement in 2019 with the Japanese team Sagan Tosu after a few earlier failed trades.
After winning the lottery and being signed by Gerard Houllier, he had trouble persuading Benitez. In 2004, he broke the first of his two legs, and in 2006, he was lent a leg.
Liverpool is fortunate, though, in that their academy has made some progress since the early days.
