Liverpool teenager scored winner for under-23s.
Liverpool youngster Paul Glatzel scored the winner for the Reds’ under-23 side last night against West Ham.
Glatzel’s strike was his 23rd goal of the season for the academy.
The 17-year-old is making a real name for himself and there is a strong chance now he gets to 30 goals this season.
Glatzel turns 18 on Wednesday and is reportedly due for a new contract.
The Liverpool Echo reported at the weekend that Glatzel will be offered his first professional deal and that the contract will be finalised on his birthday.
Glatzel’s winner in a 1-0 victory over West Ham backed up Liverpool’s decision to prioritise locking him down for the future.
Along with Bobby Duncan and Rhian Brewster, Liverpool are blessed with talented young strikers.
Glatzel is making himself impossible to ignore, and this is just the start of a prolific run at under-23 level, before he begins his charge towards the first team.
