Arne Slot gave a big number of Liverpool youngsters a run out during Saturday’s pre-season win over Real Betis.

The Reds finally kicked their new season off in Pittsburgh, beating the La Liga side 1-0.

With so many of the Liverpool squad still away on holiday, Slot still managed to cobble together a decent looking starting XI.

It was interesting to see the slight tweaks in the Reds’ formation.

Elliott is still only 21, while the likes of Fabio Carvalho, Conor Bradley and Jarell Quansah have all had significant game time for Liverpool.

Others are much more wet behind the ears, with 17-year-old Trey Nyoni the youngest to make an appearance.

Despite his youthfulness, Nyoni has already made his senior bow for the Reds.

The midfielder came on against Southampton in the Carabao Cup at Anfield last season.

Nyoni impressed Klopp during that game and it’s safe to say that he caught the eye against Betis, too.

Liverpool fans were blown away by how good Nyoni was in his 40 minutes or so on the pitch.

And as it turns out, Szoboszlai was impressed as well.

“He is a really offensive player.

So, yeah, a good future.”

Nyoni’s display against Betis was the type that can really announce a young player.

As Szoboszlai says, he always seems to be one step ahead of his marker and his vision and weight of pass is excellent, too.

Curtis Jones has explained how he thinks that central midfielders could well be the key to unlocking Slot’s system at Liverpool.

On this – albeit limited – evidence, Nyoni looks like the kind of player who could really thrive within that set-up.

There’s a reason why Liverpool plucked Nyoni from Leicester at barely 16.
