LW Cameron Brannagan

Brannagan benefitted from Liverpool’s injury crisis last season to the tune of nine appearances across the board. The early stages of the League Cup against lower league opponents is a perfect place to cultivate some minutes to feed Brannagan.

This summer, Liverpool fended off advances from Wigan Athletic for the youngster. The Latics lobbed a £1million bid that Liverpool sent back untouched.

It’s exciting when young players get to be imbued into the first team. Seeing Branangan floating around Origi, Ings and others is always fascinating.
