Liverpool youngster could get another first team chance next week.
Liverpool youngster Curtis Jones is continuing to build an impressive case for more first team involvement.
Jones, 18, is already regarded as one of Liverpool’s top prospects and wants to break into Jurgen Klopp’s side.
His consistent performances in the academy this season are giving him a chance.
Jones scored again for Liverpool yesterday, this time against Genk in the UEFA Youth League.
This was his second goal in three matches in the competition, having netted against Red Bull Salzburg in the previous match.
In addition to these goals he has three for the under-23s this season, bringing his total tally to five. He also has one assist.
Jones has been captaining the under-19s and is embracing the responsibility.
He featured for Liverpool’s first team in the Carabao Cup win over MK Dons last month.
He will have another opportunity next week, so he hopes, when Liverpool host Arsenal in the next round of the competition.
This will be a much bigger test, and it is a great chance for him to show he belongs at a first team level.
