Barry Ferguson has suggested that he is now convinced that Liverpool have a special talent on their hands after watching him on international duty during this break.

What Liverpool have already managed to achieve this season has been remarkable. The Reds have clinched the Carabao Cup and are right in the mix to win the Premier League title.

Jurgen Klopp‘s men have had to deal with a raft of injuries. And one of those who has been sidelined for a significant part of the campaign has been Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Alexander-Arnold is one of the most unique players in the Premier League. So it looked to be a huge task for Conor Bradley to come in and replace the England international.

Bradley however, has been exceptional over the last few months. And he has now taken that form onto the international stage, scoring his first goal for Northern Ireland in their win over Scotland on Tuesday.

Bradley was lauded by various media outlets after Northern Ireland’s win at Hampden Park. And speaking on The Go Radio Football Show podcast, Barry Ferguson insisted that he has been so impressed by the 20-year-old.

“Take nothing away, I know it was a deflection, but young Bradley, what a player he is. Fantastic energy. He’s broken into that Liverpool team and I tell you, Liverpool have got one helluva player on their hands,” he said.

Youngster going from strength to strength

It said everything about how good Bradley had been that there seemed to be some insisting that Klopp needed to find a way to fit both him and Alexander-Arnold into the side when they are both fit.

Alexander-Arnold is playing some of the best football of his career right now. His quality is undeniable. But he is now playing in a system that seems to be playing to more of his strengths.

And yet, Bradley has been inspired. Certainly, he appears to have a fantastic career at Anfield ahead of him. And he will be one of the players Liverpool’s next manager will relish the chance to work with next season.
