# Virals: Liverpool starlet Kaide Gordon enjoys taste of senior training

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/05/12/virals-holland-putting-the-pressure-on-over-virgil-van-dijk/) youngster [Kaide Gordon](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/01/25/liverpool-set-to-complete-signing-of-youngster-kaide-gordon/) joined the first-team training session on Tuesday to cap off a fabulous week.

As the senior Reds continued to prepare for a rearranged Manchester United clash on Thursday night at Old Trafford, the 16-year-old was [pictured in the mix](https://video.liverpoolfc.com/player/0_01bpq0b1/?feedId=4894e552-b329-4132-bf8d-f5fbafe95f20&page=0&pageSize=20&sortOrder=desc&title=Featured%20Videos&listType=LIST-DEFAULT) with the stars.

This came just a day after the highly-rated Gordon scored on his debut for the under-23s against their Leicester City counterparts – continuing to catch the eye since his [arrival from Derby County](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/liverpool-sign-teenage-star-gordon-from-derby-county/67o5zrimi4mo12b0hf78brd40) in January.

As cited by [LFC Transfer Room](https://twitter.com/LFCTransferRoom/status/1392203730481672197) on Twitter, the teenager seemed to be enjoying himself as an onrushing Sadio Mane and fitness coach Andreas Kornmayer watched on.

Since joining the young Reds in February, the [England youth prospect](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kaide-gordon/nationalmannschaft/spieler/732119/verein_id/23260) has played eight times in the U18 Premier League for Liverpool – scoring [six and registering three assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kaide-gordon/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/732119/saison/2020/wettbewerb/GB18).

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Kopites can be excited over what the future holds given the talented crop of youngsters seemingly coming through the ranks.

Jurgen Klopp has already overseen the emergence of [Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-man-united-trent-curtis-19630534) in recent times.

Fans will hope the likes of Gordon, [Mateusz Musialowski](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/academy/player/mateusz-musialowski) and Harvey Elliott are the next group of talented individuals to make it big in the senior ranks at Anfield.

Blooding these players in senior football early gives them an insight into what it takes to reach the elite level – perhaps more of these names will be seen both in training and cup action next term.
