Liverpool’s future looks far from concerning when one considers the wealth of young talent already at the club’s disposal from Marcelo Pitaluga to Kaide Gordon.
One name that certainly seems to be resonating beyond the borders of Merseyside is that of on-loan Red, Sepp van den Berg, who currently plies his trade with Lancashire-based outfit Preston North End.
The Dutchman was deemed instrumental by the Championship side’s fans in a 2-0 win over West Brom, which ended the Baggies undefeated home streak.

It’s a result that sees Ryan Lowe’s men climb to 13th in the table, only eight points behind sixth-placed Huddersfield in the playoff places with a game in hand to contest also.
We’re delighted to hear of the 20-year-old impressing away from Anfield and it’s hopefully positive sign of the defender’s development and potential.
With us possessing a highly-rated 22-year-old in Ibrahima Konate, nothing would please us more than to see the future of the backline further bolstered by a renewed Van den Berg.
You can catch some of the fan reaction below:
Must admit when he left on loan I did not expect Sepp van den Berg to make such a big impression at rightback as he's done at Preston. They seem to love him there. https://t.co/eaGZsKz32G

Top class performance from Sepp Van Den Berg tonight against West Brom. He was PNE's best defender today. Won 5/6 aerial duels, made 3 interceptions, 2 clearances and 2 very clutch tackles.

Let’s be honest, Sepp Van Den Berg Is the best player on earth and Ryan Lowe is the best manager to have graced a touch line😍 #pnefc
