Liverpool may already have Iraola’s next Kroupi hiding in the academy
Joshua Sonni-Lambie’s numbers, role and playing style suggest he could be a natural fit for Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool plans.
Andoni Iraola is Liverpool’s new head-coach and naturally reports are already emerging about the Reds signing some of his former players at Bournemouth.
From Rayan to Alex Scott and even Eli Junior Kroupi. It certainly wouldn’t be a surprise to see one of the aforementioned trio arrive. However, when it comes to Kroupi, maybe Liverpool don’t have fork out big money to sign him.
Instead, Iraola might have his very own version of his former attacker hiding within Liverpool’s academy.
One of the most notable aspects of Iraola’s opening interview as the head-coach of the club was the mention of how he’s looking forward to working with the club’s younger players during pre-season while the seniors are away on international duty at the World Cup.
It’s a stark contrast from Arne Slot, who showed little interest in the academy.
Andoni Iraola could hand Liverpool youngsters a major pre-season chance
Iraola is going to take a different approach and that is going to be a huge opportunity for some of the club’s younger players to make their mark.
Among them will be one of Liverpool’s most impressive young academy stars from last season – Joshua Sonni-Lambie.
