18-year-old who Jurgen Klopp loves signs new long-term deal with Liverpool | OneFootball

Jayden Danns has committed his future to Liverpool by signing a new long-term contract with the Premier League club.

Backtrack two months ago and most fans would not know who the 18-year-old was, but the last month and a bit has been special for the forward.

Liverpool experienced an injury crisis at the start of 2024 and that led to several young stars getting their chance with the senior team. Danns got the call-up as Jurgen Klopp was impressed with his performances and attitude around the training ground.

In the space of an unforgettable week in late February, Danns made his debut off the bench against Luton Town, produced a lively cameo in the Carabao Cup final triumph over Chelsea, and scored twice in front of the Kop in the FA Cup victory over Southampton.

The forward has now been offered a new deal for his efforts.
