Liverpool currently has two of the top young players in the world.

Liverpool now has two of the top young players in the world, according to GOAL

Every year, the NXGN Awards choose a group of youths who are at the top of their class – athletes with whom they have high expectations for the future.

GOAL has released their 50 finalists for 2023, and two Anfield players are among them: Stefan Bajcetic and Ben Doak.

Mr. Stefan Bajcetic

The 18-year-old midfielder has to be included given his spectacular journey to the top this season, having played for Jurgen Klopp’s first-team.

Liverpool needed a vibrant presence in the centre of the park, and Bajcetic filled that void.

He became a vital part of Klopp’s starting XI after being one of the only Reds players to impress this season.

Unfortunately, it was only just revealed that he had sustained a thigh injury that will keep him out until the end of the season.

Liverpool will be hopeful that Bajcetic can recuperate without incident this summer, as he will play a key role in the team next year.

Mr. Ben Doak

Ben Doak, who joined Anfield from Celtic last summer, is the other Merseysider.

This season, the 17-year-old has risen to the top of Kirkby’s youth ranks, having already been given a handful of first-team opportunities.

The Scotsman has made five senior appearances, including two in the Premier League.

Doak will continue to play a role for both sides after impressing with the U21s thus far.

He may even get more first-team appearances next year, but because he’s already doing so well with Barry Lewtas’ young team, there’s no need to hasten his development.
