Harvey Elliott, Dominic Solanke, Fabio Carvalho, Trey Nyoni, and Rio Ngumoha are some of Liverpool’s promising youth acquisitions from English sides in recent years.

Elliott has broken into the first team over the past few seasons, while Solanke and Carvalho now play for Tottenham and Brentford, respectively. Nyoni and Ngumoha are exciting stars in the youth setup, and if they follow in the footsteps of those before them, they will have the chance to have a promising career.

Sunderland manager Régis Le Bris described Ogunsuyi as a ‘very interesting player for the future’ and has called up the Belgian Youth International to the first team squad to be on the bench in a few first-team matches this season.
