Liverpool legend John Aldridge has admitted he is excited about Jayden Danns, dubbing the forward the real deal and revealing his finishing has been brilliant throughout the age groups at the Reds.
The 18-year-old forward came through Liverpool’s academy set-up and has now broken into the first team picture, getting on the pitch in the Reds’ EFL Cup win over Chelsea at Wembley.
Danns also scored twice against Southampton in the FA Cup last month, coming off the bench and has four senior appearances to his name so far this season.
Aldridge stated that in the past, he had seen quite a few promising young forwards coming from the Liverpool academy who failed to establish themselves in the Reds first-team, but he believes that Danns can become a good player for the club in the future.
The ex-Liverpool striker thinks Danns is the real deal and admits he has seen brilliant finishing from the attacker throughout the age groups.
“I’ve watched a number of centre-forwards at the academy and thought, ‘Oh yeah, here we go. He looks good.’ But they’ve flitted away”, Aldridge wrote in his Liverpool Echo column.
“I don’t want to speak too soon about Danns, but he looks like the real deal.
“It is only early days, but from what I’ve seen.
“He just needs to keep working on his game.
“His finishing is there, that is clear having seen him over the last couple of seasons for the Under-18s and Under-21s.
“His finishing is brilliant, but to do it in front of the Kop is absolutely brilliant.”
Liverpool are set to face Sparta Prague on Thursday in their Europa League fixture and Danns will be eyeing an opportunity to feature for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
