Son of 2005 Champions League winner has just started playing for Liverpool’s U18s, he’s one to watch

There was so much nostalgia for Liverpool fans yesterday, as the LFC Legends rolled into town.

As ever with these games, there were some real, genuine icons of the game on show, mixed in between some forgotten heroes of the past.

Fernando Torres was clearly the biggest draw for Liverpool fans. Having reignited his partnership with Steven Gerrard more than 13 years on from his Anfield exit, Torres rolled back the years with a goal and a celebration in front of the Kop.

But El Nino wasn’t the only striker to light up the game with goal on Saturday. And as it turns out, one of them could yet leave a lasting legacy at the club.

Liverpool U18s gain new prospect
Djibril Cisse was perhaps underrated during his three years at Liverpool. After joining in 2004, the French striker went on to play a key part in the 2005 Champions League win and the FA Cup success of the following year.

However, having suffered terrible luck with injuries, Cisse never quite lived up to his potential in terms of goal scoring. Still, he was always well-liked at Anfield and bagged some big goals for the club.

And after scoring the crucial equaliser during yesterday’s 4-2 win over Ajax legends, the LFCTV commentator revealed that Cisse’s son is now hoping to follow in his dad’s footsteps for Liverpool.

“He’s looking up into the stands for his boys who are all footballers now as well,” said commentator Peter McDowell, after Cisse’s goal. “At Nottingham Forest, Notts County, he’s got one who made his debut for Liverpool U18s last night.”

MORE LIVERPOOL STORIES
Who is Djibril Cisse’s son
For Cisse’s son to be turning out for the U18s already is quite some feet. As it turns out, the former Liverpool No.9’s boy, Prince Kobe Cisse, doesn’t turn 16 until July.

Playing years ahead of his age group, Prince clearly has something that the coaches at Kirkby like.

Djibril Cisse
As we’ve seen more evidently than ever this year, the pathway is very much open for young players at Liverpool. Do well in the youth teams and you can quickly be within touching distance of the senior squad.

Obviously, there’s no chance that Cisse will be troubling the first-team at just 15. But in the next 18 months to two years, it’s really worth keeping a close eye on how he does.

Just like his father, Prince is a forward. Having selected Wales as his nation of choice, the youngster has also already been capped by the Dragon’s U16 side. Having the father that he does, there will already be expectation on Cisse Jnr to become a success in the game.

He isn’t the only one carrying that burden, though. There’s a number of prospects with famous dads currently at the academy. While a career in football is clearly anything but a given for any of them, the early signs are there that for Cisse, it could be a possibility.

Liverpool defender Conor Bradley was the star man as Northern Ireland drew 1-1 with Romania during an international friendly on Friday evening.

The 20-year-old was deployed in a new role that allowed him to make an impact at both ends of the pitch, and he won back possession early on for his side’s opening goal in the seventh minute, beginning a performance that saw him picked out as the Man of the Match by Belfast Live.

Bradley was handed a 9/10 player rating for his display, which received praise for his work ethic and being the ‘standout player’ on the pitch for the Green Army.

His performance was also deemed ‘magical’ by the Belfast Telegraph, which was impressed by both the Liverpool star’s attitude and ability. Both elements of his game that have previously been praised by club manager Jürgen Klopp.

Bradley recently spoke about Klopp while on international duty with Northern Ireland to BBC Sport. “He’s just good with me and helps me out when I need help,” he said.

“He’s helped me loads and given me my first chance so I’ll be forever grateful to him. It would be lovely [to win the Premier League] but there’s still hard work to go to get that and there’s still loads of games left.

“Hopefully at the end of the season with Liverpool I’ll have a couple more medals to my name, which would be brilliant and give the gaffer the send-off he deserves.”

Liverpool.com says: Conor Bradley is improving quickly since being handed a run of games in the first team, and it looks as though he is replicating the performances for Northern Ireland that Liverpool fans have been enjoying. It’s nice to see him receive the praise he deserves after what has been an excellent campaign so far, and it’s exciting to see how good the 20-year-old could get. He showed the best of both his attacking and defensive abilities against Romania, with further signs of his limitless potential.

As Trent Alexander-Arnold prepares to return, Klopp could even consider deploying both of them in some games where the vice-captain is played in midfield. Sporting director Richard Hughes certainly won’t need to be looking at right-backs as potential signings this summer.

Andy Robertson fumes as Richard Hughes could secure ‘next Xabi Alonso’ for Liverpool
It was a night to forget for Andy Robertson on the international stage. Richard Hughes could secure Liverpool the ‘next Xabi Alonso’ who wants a move.

Liverpool will go into the business end of the season full of confidence. Despite the FA Cup quarter-final defeat to rivals Manchester United — and the manner of the defeat — the Reds are still in the hunt for two more trophies and could end the Jürgen Klopp era with a treble.

Liverpool faces Atalanta in the quarter-final of the Europa League and Klopp will want to win the one trophy that has so far eluded him during his time at Anfield, with the German losing in the 2016 final of the competition to Sevilla.

Liverpool is second in the Premier League table, level on points with Arsenal but behind on goal difference. Yet with the Gunners having a run of difficult games coming up, Liverpool could take top spot in the coming weeks.

Before the club game kicks into high gear once more, Klopp will be hoping his players return to Merseyside unscathed after the latest round of international games. Klopp needs as many players back as possible after enduring a horrendous run with injuries over the past few months. Here are two L.iverpool.com articles today that you shouldn’t miss.

Richard Hughes could repeat Pep Lijnders trick as ‘next Xabi Alonso’ wants transfer
Incoming sporting director Richard Hughes will have a lot of things to sort through when he officially takes over his role at the club on June 1. Hughes may have a list of players he believes he could sign for the Reds already at this stage, and he could present Liverpool’s new manager, whether it’s Xabi Alonso or someone else, with a gift in the shape of Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners.

The Dutchman has been one of the best midfielders in Italy this season, and the former AZ Alkmaar player has told the Italian side that he intends to leave at the end of the season. Learn more from James Findlater and Ben Bocsak by clicking here.

Andy Robertson left fuming as Liverpool star leaves international duty early
Many of Liverpool’s players featured for their respective nations this week, with mixed results. Dominik Szoboszlai scored a penalty in a 1-0 win for Hungary against Turkey, while Luis Díaz captained Colombia to a 1-0 win against Spain.

Left-back Andy Robertson was left fuming after Scotland were demolished 4-0 against a Dutch side that contained Liverpool pair Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo. Following the game, Robertson spoke out in his post-match interview, and didn’t hold back on what he saw.

Alexis Mac Allister, Kostas Tsimikas and Conor Bradley were also in action for their countries in what is the last international break of the season. Read more from James Findlater by clicking here.

Man United summer transfer plan demolished by ‘£380m’ reveal – Kieran Maguire

Man United are “dancing on the head of a pin” to comply with financial regulations because they still owe £380million in transfer instalments.

That is the view of finance expert Kieran Maguire, who exclusively told Football Insider that United’s huge transfer debt has stopped the club from signing players in recent windows.

It is understood that the Red Devils are close to the limit of the Profit and Sustainability Rules after their heavy spending in recent years.

United failed to sign a single player in the January window due to their budget being restricted by the regulations.

Man United ‘specialist’ must tackle £380m transfer problem
Maguire admitted that he was shocked that a football finance manager wasn’t already in place at Old Trafford and believes the new role will “pay for itself” if they can tackle the club’s £380million transfer debt.

“It does seem late for somebody to be brought into Man United for this role,” Maguire told Football Insider’s Sean Fisher.

“At the same time, we have noted in recent windows that Manchester United have been dancing on the head of a pin to comply with the regulations.

“The level of spending has been below the expectations of many fans.

“Part of the reason for this is that those fans don’t realise that Manchester United have £380million in outstanding instalments which are due for previous signings.

“People don’t look at their credit card bill when they’re spending money.

“If this role and the person involved is able to help Manchester United create a strategy for recruitment, then that job will pay for itself many times over very, very quickly

Klopp quickly angered at Salah probe as Liverpool boss gives his side of Henderson saga
Samuel Bannister 15 Sep 2023 2:04 PM
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and forward Mohamed Salah
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reacted angrily to suggestions that the Saudi Pro League could continue its pursuit of Mohamed Salah in January.

Al-Ittihad recently tempted Liverpool with a huge bid for Salah while the transfer window remained open in Saudi Arabia. Liverpool stood firm, though, avoiding another of their players moving to the Middle East after Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino.

One of the main reasons Liverpool were inclined to reject Al-Ittihad’s advances was the fact that they could not have immediately signed a replacement. When the transfer windows re-open in January, though, that will no longer be the case, which has led to plenty of speculation about suitors from the Saudi Pro League testing their resolve again at the next opportunity.

But when pressed on the topic of selling Salah in the winter, Klopp hit back at reporters during a Friday press conference.

The Liverpool boss responded: “A week after it closed you ask me about the January transfer window! You can’t wait until December to ask these questions?

“I’m not worried about and wasn’t until you opened the wound again. I’m not worried.”

While Salah has stayed put, the Saudi Pro League now contains several players who used to be at Klopp’s disposal. As well as the trio mentioned above, the likes of Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum have also ended up there.

Klopp reacts to Henderson interview
Probably the most controversial Saudi swoop for a Liverpool player, though, was when Al-Ettifaq bought Jordan Henderson.

The former Liverpool captain recently claimed he felt unwanted by the club towards the end of his time at Anfield. Now, Klopp has confirmed Henderson’s revelations that he could not offer him guarantees about gametime.

Klopp said: “I didn’t read the interview at first, then read it so I can make my own opinion. Hendo said the truth. That’s how it was.

“We had talks, I told him I wanted him to stay but we talked about maybe not playing regularly.

“I cannot tell a player they can have 50 games because I don’t know that. In our relationship, I thought it was important we speak about ‘what happens if’.

“Hendo, I love him but he was not great when they didn’t play, Milner and Lucas were the same. So we talk about that now.

“So in Hendo’s ears and mind, he thought I didn’t want him there. If I said Hendo would be the main man for me he would stay but I couldn’t. That’s why it’s better he moved on.

“Not a bit of bad blood. Captain of the best Liverpool team in the Premier League era.”

Klopp was speaking ahead of Liverpool’s return to action against Wolves in the Saturday lunchtime kick-off. You can see Robbie Savage’s prediction for TEAMtalk here.
