Liverpool management excited by new teenage wing twins

Liverpool are extremely enthusiastic about two of their summer academy signings.

The Reds secured duo Ben Doak and Trent Kone-Doherty in the transfer window, and they have wasted no time this season.

The two have been standouts for the Liverpool Under-19 side in the UEFA Youth League and other competitions.

"In Napoli I was really excited with the pair of them playing either side," stated youth boss Barry Lewtas of the young wing duo, per the Liverpool ECHO.

"Trent has played primarily with the U18s. He has done well. Trent looks really dynamic, he can take players on, he combines well. He's a wide attacking player who seems pretty fearless when he's in one-v-one moments. He can change direction, he's direct.

"It will have been a big step up for him in terms of the level of game since arriving, but he has seemed pretty fearless. Napoli made a change on his side early on in the first game and that was due to the success he was getting out wide. "
