Liverpool and their commitment to developing youth is continuing under Arne Slot.
Arne Slot has already handed Rio Ngumoha his first-team debut in the FA Cup defeat to Plymouth Argyle, while James McConnell has also seen minutes in domestic cup competition as well as the Champions League.
Ngumoha has been included in Liverpool’s Champions League knock-out squad.
Highly-rated midfielder Alvin Ayman joined Liverpool from Wolves last summer, with the Reds reportedly paying £2 million in compensation after a two-month approval process by the Premier League.
The 17-year-old signed his first professional contract earlier this season.
Now Liverpool FC has continued its commitment to nurturing young talent with 17-year-old goalkeeper Bailey Hall signing his first professional contract, following a series of high-profile academy deals that highlight the club’s long-term vision.
Hall, who joined Liverpool’s academy four years ago after being released by hometown club Sunderland, has emerged as a key figure in the youth setup.
The goalkeeper has made 19 appearances across all competitions this season, including standout contributions to the U18s’ run to the Premier League Cup semi-finals and the U19s’ UEFA Youth League knockout qualification.
