Liverpool have an impressive talent in their ranks and he is very highly admired.
The club's talent scouting has been incredibly impressive over the last few years and earlier this week it was confirmed that the academy would be receiving a new goalkeeper this summer.

Armin Pecsi is his name - a 20-year-old Hungarian who made the move from Puskas Akademia.
He is regarded as one of the standout up and coming players and when Anfield Watch exclusively spoke to former-Liverpool goalkeeper and now Hungarian football pundit, Adam Bogdan about him, a surprising comparison was made.

In his chat with Ben Bocsak on the Anfield Watch YouTube channel, Bogdan, someone who knows a thing or two about goalkeeping, said: "I was speaking to the national team youth coaches and goalkeeper coaches and everybody spoke really highly of him.
"He's a hugely talented guy when it comes to movement in the goal and I think he reminds me a little big of [David] De Gea in terms of his build and the way he can move and shift his feet, as well as a bit of his body shape as well.
"Of course he's only 20, but he's not an early developer so I think his body needs to get stronger, certainly for the Premier League but I do think there is a plan behind it [his move to Liverpool]."
While it has been nearly five years since David De Gea was in his prime at Manchester United, his peak level helped make him renowned as the best goalkeeper in the world for a period of time.
Regardless of the link to the Red Devils, that is an extraordinary comparison to make with Pecsi and it seems that Liverpool will have a serious talent on their hands moving forwards if he develops well.
