Liverpool have another incredible talent on pre-season tour no one is talking about
This is an exciting time for the Liverpool squad in Hong Kong.
There are a lot of new faces getting to meet the squad for the first time. The likes of Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Giorgi Mamardashvili and Jeremie Frimpong will be having their first proper experiences at Liverpool players.
They are soon expected to be joined by Hugo Ekitike, who will become the club's seventh new arrival this summer after Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman also joined the club.
Whether we get to see him in action against AC Milan remains to be seen. It's unlikely given the amount Ekitike will have to travel and the jetlag he will have to endure after his trip.
But in a week's time in Yokohama, it's entirely possible that Ekitike will be in action for the Reds and that's going to be a very exciting moment for every supporter.

Of course, it's not just the new signings who may be relatively 'new' faces. Liverpool didn't bring a lot of young players with them on the tour, but there are some really promising young talents involved.
Everyone has been talking about Rio Ngumoha and Trey Nyoni. Rightly so, they are two spectacular talents but there is one exciting player who a lot of people are not even talking about.
The least talked about name in the Liverpool travelling squad for the tour is Kornel Misciur. He's currently probably the fifth choice goalkeeper on tour, so it's understandable if not everyone is talking about him.
But his inclusion on the tour is a reminder of his incredible talent.
Only 18-years-old, Misciur is a towering figure already with a well-built body that makes him look beyond his years. He's incredible commanding in between the sticks, and his reaction times and reflexes makes him an elite goalkeeper.
With Mamardashvili being 24-years-old, Pecsi being 20-years-old, and Jaros (out on loan at Ajax) also 24-years-old, Liverpool's goalkeeping department is set for the future.
In an ideal world, Mamardashvili will probably replace Alisson Becker in the coming years. Pecsi or Jaros are being primed as Mamardashvili's potential back-up or successors but Misciur can be a future no.1 goalkeeper as well.
The Polish youth international, who is also eligible to represent England has everything to go really far in the game.

The fact that Arne Slot included him in his 29-men squad for the tour speaks volumes of the incredible talent Misciur has. He's someone to keep a close eye on, even if he's unlikely to taste a lot of action on tour.
