Liverpool is reinforced at the level of youth with a highly valued talent that crossed the Manchester gorge, and this time it was immediately confirmed on social media.
Manchester City Academy -Midfender Lucas Alford has posted Instagram That he becomes a member of the Reds, shares photos in our training kit while putting PEN on paper on conditions with the club.
Liverpool reinforces rivalry with another signing of the City Academy
This is not the first time that we have taken a top young player from our direct rivals. Last year Liverpool Lucas Clarke from City, with the defender now well at the level of U18.
Alford’s decision continues that trend. The 16-year-old has the youth teams of the city captain and impressed by national tournaments in the past year.
Able to play as both a midfielder and no. 8, he brings versatility and leadership qualities to the Reds Academy.
He will become a member of a strong U16 team in Kirkby that already contains talents such as Joshua Abe, Erik Farkas and Vincent Joseph.
The hope is that Alford, like Clarke for him, can quickly develop through the age groups and can ultimately challenge a first team.
Liverpool gives a clearer path the lead on the city
Liverpool has consistently offered opportunities for graduates from the Academy to break into senior football. From Trent Alexander-Arnold to Curtis Jones, Conor Bradley and Rio Ngumoha, the track record is clear.
Despite a strong rivalry between the two parties in recent years, this shows that there are now also many connections between the two clubs.
Pep Libnders is currently a member of the coaching staff at the Etihad Stadium and we see perhaps two former city players breaking into our first team team in the coming years.
Adding Academy Coups such as Alford only strengthens the image of the revival of Liverpool against Pep Guardiola.
With our Premier League champions that continue under Arne Slot, even the youth talents of City seem to see the benefits of wearing red.
