Liverpool make MOMENTOUS Conor Bradley decision

Liverpool Bets Big on Bradley: New Contract, New Number for Rising Star

Replacing a Legend: The Trent Alexander-Arnold Effect

For years, Liverpool fans feared losing their beloved right-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold. His contract ticking down fueled speculation, and ultimately, Real Madrid swooped in, securing the 20-year Anfield veteran for their Bernabeu home. The departure of a world-class, homegrown talent was undeniably a blow.

New Blood: Frimpong and Bradley Step Up

However, Liverpool wasted no time bolstering its ranks. Jeremie Frimpong joined the Reds, bringing his versatility as a right-back, right wing-back, right midfielder, and right winger. The 24-year-old Dutchman presents a potent attacking threat, capable of changing the game from various positions.

But perhaps the most encouraging development is the rise of Conor Bradley. The young Northern Irishman has blossomed into one of the best young full-backs in recent months, proving himself more than capable during Alexander-Arnold's absences.

Klopp's Faith: A New Deal and a Prominent Number

Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot showed unwavering faith in Bradley by readily integrating him into the first team. This trust has been solidified with a new contract awarded shortly after the end of last season, ensuring Bradley remains a key part of Liverpool's future.

Further demonstrating their belief in Bradley, the club has bestowed upon him the prestigious No.12 jersey – previously worn by Joe Gomez and legendary Champions League winner Sami Hyypia.
