Hi Ed002, a while back a poster asked you what young players were highly regarded in the wolrd and are seen to have bright futures and you replied with a great post mentioning a number of players. i'm trying to find that post again but to no avail. I was wondering if you had it in your notes at all, if not its ok, i'm not going to ask you to rewrite as it was quite a lengthy post haha. Thank you for all the work you guys do, love the site!

{Ed002's Note - In 2013 I was told by someone who knows far better than me that there were four truly exceptional young talents in world football at that time - Chelsea's Nathan Ake, Max Meyer of Schalke, Liverpool's Oluwaseyi Ojo and Martin Benitez of Independiente.}

Thank you Ed for the fast reply! I think you mentioned before if you had to pick one player who you thought could potentially be a great player you said Yasssine Benzia. How is he getting on and is there any players we should watch out for? I've been hearing great things about a player named Luka Jovic.

{Ed002's Note - Benzia is doing OK at Lille - he will get better. Red Star Belgrade's Luka Jovic has been subject to bids from Braga and Atletico Madrid and is being scouted by Porto, Spurs, Arsenal and Toulouse - but it was the interest of Benfica that came to fruition in January - but be wary of complex ownership issues involving Pini Zahivi.}

Lot has been said about ibe this season, however ojo looks to have it all
Very raw at the moment, I really hope he is brought on next season. Big, strong, can dribble and pace, I think long term he could play down the middle. I think in him and origi we have some really exciting forward players. Klopp just needs to balance the midfield and sort the left back
I think we will be happy next season, all of us!

You're right gkid, feel like we've got 2 centre midfielders who could prove to be a very good pair in Can and Henderson but I don't think we can rely on having them both together next year. If he continues to progress as he did last season I can see Klopp looking to get Dahoud in, I think there's a chance Zielinski (if he signs) could just be a stopgap.

We need to hang on to Ojo with our life.
