The chairman of Peterborough United, Darragh MacAnthony, thinks starlet forward Ricky-Jade Jones should move to Liverpool ‘eventually’.
MacAnthony was discussing his club’s youngster on Twitter, after Jones recently did an interview with the Mail – confirming the interest of ourselves and Manchester United – suggesting he’d ideally like him to make an Anfield switch.
Ricky came across great in that interview. Such a level headed kid for 17. His relentless pace/chasing defenders down does remind me of Vardy for sure. Big part of clubs future post covid football wise. https://t.co/gehu1Z8UFr

No doubt they like him. The Gaffer has told his own dad about him of course. Id like him to go to Liverpool eventually lol. But plenty of time for all that down the line. https://t.co/J3pQTzwBCL

The teenage attacker has made 11 appearances in League One this term and is rated as a very exciting prospect.
He prides himself on his dribbling ability and his pace, which you can check out in the video below.
Liverpool’s U23 team is packed full of exciting talent, such as Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott, Neco Williams and Ki-Jana Hoever to name but a few – but we shouldn’t be averse to adding more when and if available.
It doesn’t look like Jurgen Klopp will be able to secure many expensive first-teamers given the current climate, so a move for a prodigal youngster might be the best fit.
