If Liverpool fail in their pursuit of Ben Chillwell, they will turn to former Barcelona left-back, Juanma, who is currently on trial at the club.

The Mirror, report that the defender made his debut for the club's U21 side against Rhyl this weekend, and even laid on assist in the game, boosting his chances of earning a contract at the Anfield club.

Any chance you guys know anything about him? Also curious about the link to Presnel Kimpembe, if no one else has already mentioned him.

I've watched some games in some pretty obscure European leagues. I even watched a game in the Finnish league last season! But Spanish Youth Football?

If anyone is that dedicated to the game, and to armchair scouting, fair play! I bow to you.

I was at the Rhyl Game, in the first-half Rhyl hardly got out of their half. Great assist by Juanma, he put it on a plate. 2nd half saw almost complete different team out and the game was less one sided although Liverpool were still dominant but just less clinical.

We won 1-4.

Kent and Wilson were class. Worth a watch for the price guys, good footy on show.

Juanma will be playing for the U23s in PL2 if he joins the team, not for the senior squad.

Fair point, AG. I wasn't expecting him to slot home as our starting left back, I was just looking for a comment about the player in general. Thanks Statto.

I'm pretty sure he is a CB that can play at LB as well.
