Two centre-backs caught the eye of Liverpool‘s scouting department at the U17 World Cup in Qatar last November.
Within weeks, the club spent a combined £3.5m on the pair: Senegal’s Mor Talla Ndiaye and Austria’s Ifeanyi Ndukwe.
Under Matt Newberry, Liverpool‘s head of global talent, this was evidence of future planning in full flow.
Yet surely no-one inside the club would have expected the teenage duo to be
Palmer first performed his ‘cold’ celebration in December 2023 after scoring two goals in a 3-2 win at Luton.
He has since taken ownership of the celebration, literally, registering a trademark for it with the UK Intellectual Property Office after scoring two goals against Luton.
However, it was first meant as a tribute to Rogers as he performed the celebration after a goal for Middlesbrough against West Brom.

The 21-year-old has been part of Liverpool’s academy since the age of six and has played four times for the club, all in 2023-24 under Jurgen Klopp in the Europa League and EFL Cup.

It is the eternal question for young managers – when are you ready for a job in the unforgiving environment of the top two leagues of English football?

Albion head to Leicester City in their next game on Monday knowing a 10th defeat in a row away from home would equal a single-season club record stretching back nearly 100 years.
Although Mason has called the losing run “a bit embarrassing”, seven of the nine defeats have been by a one-goal margin.
“We should’ve come out on top in quite a few of them, and that’s the difference,” he
New Middlesbrough boss Kim Hellberg will take charge of his first game when Derby visit the Riverside on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
In his first major managerial job with Varnamo in 2022, the 37-year-old kept the club in the Allsvenskan in their first-ever season in the Swedish top flight before leading them to an incredible fifth-place finish in 2023.
Hellberg was then appointed by Hammarby and guided them to two consecutive
Watford are really close to being a decent Championship team. But the nagging feeling remains this young group under progressive head coach Javi Gracia probably need another 12-18 months together before we see the best of them.
The problem with that is some of the talent may not still be at the club and the other problem is nor may the head coach.

Ange Postecoglou’s future hangs by a thread after three second-half goals secured Chelsea’s Premier League victory at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground, extending Forest’s winless run to eight games.
Defender Josh Acheampong and winger Pedro Neto scored just after half-time, prompting chants of “you don’t know what you are doing” from the home supporters after Postecoglou reacted by immediately bringing on Callum Hudson-Odoi, before captain Reece James sealed victory in a
