5 Liverpool youngsters who may break into the first team

#4 Cameron Brannagan

The Manchester-born is a technically gifted central midfielder who boasts of sublime balance and can strike with both his feet. The youngster mainly plays in a No.10 position but can also play as a deep lying playmaker, along with playing wide as well.

The 20-year-old youth was signed up by Liverpool at the age of five from a local club in Salford. The youngster made nine appearances for Liverpool last season including a brief appearance against Bordeaux.

Brannagan has recently signed a deal that will keep the midfielder at the club till 2018. Klopp described him as a player with a strong head and good leadership qualities, all the attributes a midfielder must have.

In fact, Brannagan has attracted interest from a big European club like Barcelona after the club’s scouts watched him play in a UEFA Youth League. He might find it difficult to break into the first team given that the team already has an excess of No.10s. But Branagan will be looking to impress Klopp whenever he gets the chance.
