Liverpool currently boasts an abundance of talented young players.
Bobby Clark, Harvey Elliott, and Jarell Quansah all appear to be rising talents.
However, Conor Bradley is perhaps Liverpool’s most impressive young player right now.
The youthful right-back has been outstanding for the Reds recently, filling in admirably for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Bradley has done admirably at right-back in recent weeks, including big games against Manchester City and Chelsea.
Glen Johnson, speaking to Squawka, praised Bradley and claimed that if he maintains his current form, he will be a world-class player.
“Yeah, clearly Conor has been terrific. He has been excellent. Again, it’s a little premature and cruel to compare him to everyone else since he hadn’t played a game of football in three months,” Johnson said.
“So I believe it’s a little harsher now. Put it this way: if this is his standard and he can sustain it, he will be world-class.
“But sometimes the first season is always simple because you’re on cloud nine, living the dream, with no drawbacks at all, and enjoying life. But it’s when you get knocked back and suffer a few injuries that you decide whether you want to have a 20-year or a two-year career.
“But, at the moment, he’s obviously playing fantastically, and as you mentioned, with him on the team, I believe they appear more balanced.
“He’s probably a better right-back than Trent. Trent is obviously world-class, yet his ability allows him to play practically anyplace.
“But Conor looks more like a natural right-back. He’s swift, strong, and an effective defender. So right now, you can’t blame him.”
Johnson accurately predicts that if Bradley maintains his current level of performance, it won’t be long until he’s considered world-class.
Trent Alexander-Arnold debuted on the scene in a similar fashion a few years ago, and it didn’t take long for him to be regarded as one of the world’s finest players.
Bradley looks like a Liverpool player, and while it’s early days, it appears that the Reds may have another superstar on their hands.
