Liverpool academy ace Kaide Gordon is making a real name for himself this season.

The 16-year-old is not only playing at Under-23s level already, but he’s standing out amongst his peers.

Fans have compared Gordon to the likes of Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez whilst tipping him to potentially replace Mohamed Salah in future.

The winger was even part of the first-team squad for pre-season training this summer, a sign that he’s thought of very highly.

Gordon has made three appearances for Liverpool’s U23s this season, clocking up two goals and an assist.

He scored the opening goal in Saturday’s Premier League 2 trip to Tottenham U23s, netting in the fourth minute.

However, Alfie Devine equalised just after the half-hour mark and then netted an 81st-minute winner for Spurs.

Despite Liverpool’s defeat, plenty of Reds fans were delighted with another top Gordon display:
