Liverpool have reportedly taken a agency stance relating to one younger prospect on their books within the face of enquiries from Premier League golf equipment.
Ben Doak – who starred for Scotland of their win over Croatia on Friday night time – is spending the season on mortgage at Middlesbrough, regardless of being the topic of switch curiosity from groups within the high flight over the summer time.
The 19-year-old has loved loads of game-time on the Riverside Stadium, with eight begins and nearly 700 minutes on the pitch for Michael Carrick’s aspect thus far (Transfermarkt).
Liverpool obtain Premier League mortgage requests for Doak
In response to switch insider Graeme Bailey for TBR Soccer on Saturday, Liverpool have acquired enquiries from a number of Premier League golf equipment requesting to take the Scottish teenager on mortgage for the second half of the season.
Nevertheless, Doak is about to stay at Middlesbrough for the remainder of the 2024/25 marketing campaign, along with his guardian membership very happy with how issues are going for him with the Teessiders, who’re at the moment only one level and one place shy of occupying a play-off place within the Championship.
Liverpool proper to go away him the place he’s
Having produced some marvellous assists for ‘Boro and delivered an ‘electrifying’ efficiency (within the phrases of BBC reporter Tom English) in Scotland’s win over Croatia on Friday, it’s no marvel that top-flight golf equipment have apparently requested Liverpool concerning the younger winger.
The style during which he hoodwinked Josko Gvardiol with an outrageous flick at Hampden Park means that he’s not within the slightest bit overawed by taking part in on the massive stage towards elite opponents, a problem that he’d face routinely within the Premier League.
Nevertheless, with Doak having fun with loads of game-time at a Middlesbrough group who’re going easily below Carrick, it’d appear silly to tug him out of that wholesome atmosphere and throw him into a possible relegation dogfight within the high tier, the place he mightn’t play as usually and his confidence might be checked.
We don’t doubt that his time will come within the high flight, whether or not it’s with Liverpool or one other membership out on mortgage first, however for now it is sensible to protect the established order and let him proceed to thrive on the Riverside.
