Dominic Solanke, Rhian Brewster and Ben Woodburn are all young strikers who dream of breaking into the Liverpool first team.

The most in form forward at the club is breakout teenager Paul Glatzel, who has been tearing it up for the under-18s.

Glatzel, 17, has scored six goals in his opening four games to start the season and is making a real name for himself.

He bagged a hat-trick against West Brom recently, earning the praise of former Reds youth coach Michael Beale.

Glatzel has yet to be capped at youth international level and has a couple of options, eligible to play for both England and Germany.

It will not be long before he receives a call from both countries, if he keeps up his excellent form to start the season.

With Rhian Brewster recovering from an injury, Glatzel has seized his chance to shine for Liverpool’s under-18 side, and a place on the bench in the Carabao Cup is not completely out of the question.

Glatzel can play as an attacking midfielder too, a versatility which can help his cause.

It is early days yet, and Liverpool have seen promising names fail to live up to their potential numerous times to it is wise to preach caution too, but Glatzel is going to be a name to watch over the coming years.
