Alongside the well-established academy graduates in Harvey Elliott, Curtis Jones and Conor Bradley you can see Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha working their way into first-team consideration.

Both players are incredibly young and despite their age, Liverpool are willing to fast-track their development since they are already showing a high level of potential in their performances.

Other youngsters that are looking for the best environments to develop are considering moves to the biggest and brightest academies and Liverpool's is one of them. A potential transfer was looked at this week for a new wonderkid to join the Reds and a decision has been made regarding his future.

Fulham make decision on Seth Ridgeon

Seth Ridgeon at Fulham is the latest star on Liverpool's radar and he would be a significant transfer scalp if the club could convince him to join. He's been weighing up his options this summer.

In a report last week, it was understood that the Reds were one of ten teams that were keeping a close eye on any potential developments surrounding the 16-year-old English midfielder.

Why is there so much interest in him? Well, not only is he the captain for England's under-17s team, but he has also experienced under-21 football, despite being five years younger than some of his teammates. It's extraordinary how comfortable he feels playing at a level that supersedes his age.

And last season, he delivered five goals in just 1003 minutes, which certainly suggests that he can hold his own, despite having so much still to learn about the professional game. In time, he will develop and whoever he plays for will have an extremely useful asset on their hands to deploy.

Despite the interest in him from other clubs, Fulham were desperate to keep hold of the 'jewel' in their academy and we now have a bit more clarity on whether Ridgeon will move elsewhere or not.

According to The Standard, the Cottagers are remain extremely hopeful that they can retain him.

Their report said: "Standard Sport understand that Ridgeon, who has been linked with moves to Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea, is viewed as a crucial part of Fulham's long-term future.

"The club are optimistic they can fend off interest in the 16-year-old."

Of course, nothing is certain until a new contract is laid on the table and Ridgeon pens his signature, but Liverpool might have to accept defeat on this one. However, if his future remains uncertain, then you can count on the club to remain interested and pounce on a deal if they receive encouragement.
