Liverpool have a habit of targeting some of the most exciting young talents from around the world, with Harvey Elliott, Billy Koumetio and Marcelo Pitaluga speaking for themselves.

As pointed out by John Percy on Twitter, Gordon is regarded as one of the brightest stars at his age. Typically deployed as an attacking midfielder, the teenager is also capable of playing on the flanks.

The youngster is in fine form for Derby’s U18s this season, bagging three goals in five appearances thus far.
