He has since returned to Anfield following his latest stint in Scotland.The 22-year-old was also included in Arne Slot’s pre-season squads in both summers between those loans, fuelling speculation that he could yet be considered for first-team involvement.However, with just a year left on his contract and registered as a homegrown player, Liverpool face a decision over his future.Speaking to The Courier, Stephenson, who made 33 appearances in all competitions, scored five goals and provided five assists for Dundee United, confirmed his desire to find a “permanent home” this summer.“I’ve only got a year left on my contract at Liverpool,” he said. “So, I think the biggest priority for me is that, in my next step, I find a permanent home.“I’ve done three years on loan and have developed a lot.

That could still be at Liverpool, depending on what they are thinking.“It could be back up in Scotland or in England – I honestly don’t know the answer to that question. “When I got back from Barrow, I didn’t really know what the game had for me.

I would speak to clubs myself and try to actively put myself in the shop window!“It has flipped a little bit now, where people are coming to us (Stephenson and representatives) a lot more than what they used to.“I always think back to one thing the academy manager always said at Liverpool: ‘Once you’ve hit 100 senior games, I’ll let you know that you’ve made it (as a professional)’. I’ve now made more than 100 – a big landmark for me – and I want to keep playing.”Dundee United are already credited with an interest in a permanent deal, alongside Celtic and Rangers, while newly promoted Championship side Bolton are also among his suitors.
