Amara Nallo
Nallo is left-footed?
Liverpool in talks to sign West Ham prospect labelled a 'Rolls Royce'
Negotiations are ongoing to bring the centre-back to Anfield.

West Ham youth coach Carlton Cole said of Nallo: "I would describe Amara as a Rolls Royce of a centre-back. He has a great left foot and is elegant when he moves with the ball.
"He can play the ball with both feet and has been working on his heading as well. He's a player who has a high ceiling."
Barry Lewtas on Benfica draw, a great weekend for McConnell and Gordon return - Liverpool FC
Barry Lewtas saluted the character of his side after a spirited display saw Liverpool U21s claim a 1-1 draw with Benfica in the Premier League International Cup on Sunday.

Tall, strong and composed on the ball, the left-sided centre-back has impressed in those meetings with youth sides from Monaco, Crystal Palace and Benfica, as well as League Two outfit Blackpool.
Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Benfica saw Nallo start alongside Jarell Quansah, with U21s coach Barry Lewtas reflecting on his form after the game.
“Amara was excellent,” Lewtas told the club’s official website.
“Him and Carter Pinnington have been playing quite regularly for us so far together.
“Listen, he is just 16, and I don’t think we’ve ever asked a lad that young to play at centre-back against senior opposition.
“He should be really proud of his performance.
“I think the main thing for Amara is he played ever so well but he didn’t let any kind of mistakes or momentum shifts in the game affect him.
“So he didn’t play like a 16-year-old, that’s for sure.”
Like Nallo, Carter Pinnington is another 16-year-old thrust into the U21s setup this season, regularly playing against strikers far older than them.
Looks like we have pretty much everything we need for the next 5 years in the youth teams and don’t need to buy anyone ever again!Liverpool in talks to sign West Ham prospect labelled a 'Rolls Royce'

@bluebell will be devastated 😉
I've said it in other thread, but after 21 I just think if you're being loaned out then the clubs got no long term plans for you. Obviously could be wrong, but I'd be surprised. Half hoping we turn in to a Chelsea under Abramovich seller of average youth products for good wedge. Keep the best like
academy person per position:
GK -> Kelleher (Pitaluga?)
LB -> Owen Beck
LCB -> Quansah
RCB -> Van Der Berg
RB -> Bradley (poor Scottish lad we got from Aberdeen :-/ )
DM -> Bajcetic (McConnell)
LM -> Curtis Jones (Clark)
RM -> Elliott
LWF -> Koumas
CF -> Danns
RWF -> Doak
GK -> Kelleher (Pitaluga?)
LB -> Owen Beck
LCB -> Quansah
RCB -> Van Der Berg
RB -> Bradley (poor Scottish lad we got from Aberdeen :-/ )
DM -> Bajcetic (McConnell)
LM -> Curtis Jones (Clark)
RM -> Elliott
LWF -> Koumas
CF -> Danns
RWF -> Doak
Give me 12m, and I will be naming all the targets the press will link us to and not sign.
Seems perfect for a CB in a back 3 then.
You’re already doing it for free 😉
Lol Bradley at right wing or midfield?
Elliot a big risk here, ditto Van Dijk. I can't fathom how Elliot is starting.
Wait. There’s 5 defenders. Gomez in midfield or we lining up 5 at the back for the first time since Brodgers ?
Or a 3-5-2 ? Interesting.
No Nunez, Salah or Dom on the bench.
Really would prefer to not have to play Utd away in between all our other more important matches.
