Ryan Giggs and Frank Lampard love him but can the Welshman convince Jurgen Klopp he has a place at Anfield?
It is getting on for two years since Adam Lallana gave an interview in which he was asked about the plethora of rising stars at Liverpool.
He had a few to choose from at the time. Trent Alexander-Arnold had recently made his Premier League debut, Ben Woodburn had become the club’s youngest ever goalscorer a couple of months previously, while Ovie Ejaria was a regular with Jurgen Klopp’s first-team squad at Melwood.
Lallana, though, chose to wax lyrical about another of the Reds’ teenage talents.
