Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been running the rule over the squad during a pre-season training camp over the last few weeks.
Reds young and old joined headed to Austria to help the first team prepare for the upcoming 2021/22 season and have recently embarked on a range of friendly matches.
The latest instalment saw a return for Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez as Klopp’s men went down 4-3 to Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin on Thursday.
However, teen sensation Kaide Gordon was the name on many lips after the 16-year-old once again caught the eye.

Gordon followed up a stellar display against FC Wacker Innsbruck with another all-action outing against tough German top-flight opposition.
Signed from Derby County in February having already made a Championship debut for the Rams, the right-winger scored six goals and added three assists in just eight U18 Premier League outings for the young Reds.
Dubbed the ‘best 16-year-old in the country’, the England youth ace also made a goalscoring Premier League 2 debut for Liverpool in May.

Albeit perhaps a little too early to envisage Gordon in the first-team immediately, there is no doubt that the youngster is striving for a plan in Klopp’s plans.
Learning from the likes of Mohamed Salah and Harvey Elliott will do the teen no harm whatsoever and Kopites can certainly get excited about the prospect.
Perhaps a role on the bench or a domestic cup appearance beckons in the 2021/22 campaign.
