Yasser Larouci may not necessarily be a name some Reds are familiar with, but the young French-Algerian left-back is trying to change that with what he hope will be an impressive pre-season under Jürgen Klopp.
The 18-year-old clocked up 27 appearances in the 2018/19 season, including a goal and two assists in 17 games in the U18 Premier League.
Equally, a 27-minute showing in the young Reds’ 5-2 win over Paris Saint-Germain’s youngsters in September fixture in the UEFA Youth League yielded a valuable assist too.
A former winger, capable of playing either side, Barry Lewtas’ decision to re-position him as a left-back as been fruitfully rewarded. Quick, strong, and eye-catching on the flank, he’s certainly the kind of player Klopp might look for in a full-back.
