Liverpool look set to keep their first-team squad intact for the second half of the 2024/25 season.

There has been some January interest in a number of Reds players, including Real Madrid’s high-profile chase of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

But Alexander-Arnold is going nowhere this month and the likes of Federico Chiesa appear likely to stay at Anfield, too despite speculation to the contrary.

However, there is still expected to be some movement on Merseyside, with a number of Liverpool youngsters expected to depart, mainly on-loan.

Decisions are likely to be made over Jayden Danns, James McConnell and more over the coming weeks as they look for regular game time in the lower leagues.

But while there’s virtually no chance of either Danns or McConnell leaving on a permanent basis, one of their Liverpool academy teammates is gearing up for a final goodbye to the Reds.

Both Danns and McConnell look like they could have a future in the Liverpool first-team squad.

The former has now made seven appearances for the senior side – and scored three goals – while McConnell hit double figures after featuring in the FA Cup win over Accrington Stanley earlier this month.

Some who come through are not quite so lucky, though.

Despite showing promise in the academy, 22-year-old Tom Hill has only ever managed to muster one solitary appearance for Liverpool.

Hill seemed set for a chance in the Europa League last season, but his only game for the Reds to date was the 2019/20 Carabao Cup quarter-final against Aston Villa, with Jurgen Klopp and the first-team away in Qatar for the Club World Cup.

And according to The Athletic, that looks likely to be the only appearance the Scouser ever makes for Liverpool.

They report that Hill is currently ‘finalising’ a permanent transfer to League Two outfit Harrogate Town.

Now 22, Hill will have known for some time that his time at Liverpool would never translate into a spot in the senior team.

Nevertheless, it is still a shame to lose a player who has been with the club since U6 level.

U21 coach Barry Lewtas hailed Hill for his ‘brilliant’ mentality having overcome a spate of injury problems and the midfielder deserves immense credit for getting himself back fit and ready for a professional career.

And while he’d have preferred it to have been for Liverpool, Harrogate looks a great move for Hill to kick off his career in earnest.

The Sulphurites are as well a run club as the Football League has to offer and if Hill can get regular game time, he could still play at a higher level.
