Jurgen Klopp has called upon the services of 17 different academy graduates and starlets this season
And while such a list includes Trent-Alexander Arnold, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Caoimhin Kelleher, the rest are all recent graduates
The highlight for the young Reds has inevitably been last month’s Carabao Cup final win over Chelsea.
Bradley started at Wembley, while Quansah, Bobby Clark, James McConnell and Jayden Danns all emerged from the bench.
Meanwhile, Lewis Koumas and Trey Nyoni were unused substitutes, ahead of making their senior debuts in Liverpool’s FA Cup fifth-round win over Southampton days later.
Having got their first taste of silverware, the club’s next generation are hungry for more
They are all eyeing up further trophies under the German ahead of his ‘heartbreaking’ exit in the summer.

“We all want to win everything, especially for us and obviously for the gaffer since it’s his last season and everything,”
"Being around this team and what we can go for. We won the Carabao Cup, and there’s so much more to come hopefully."
"I just hope we do it all for the boss really,” Koumas added. “It's going to be heartbreaking when he goes. I hope we can get a few more trophies for him.
“He's unbelievable. He’s one of the best managers in the world and it's just great to learn from him and show what I can do."
“There’s such a big opportunity,” McConnell admitted. “It’s March, and if you look at the players we have got coming back - some of the best players in the world. To really go and give every competition a good go and then see what happens comes May.”
“It sounds surreal that we're involved in that,” Quansah said. “But at the end of the day we've shown that we're good enough and that we can really help the team hopefully win the league."
