Liverpool interested in record-breaking teenager Mason Melia
Liverpool is keeping a close eye on 15-year-old Irish prospect, Mason Melia. The young forward has already made a name for himself after becoming the youngest player ever to feature for St Patrick’s Athletic in the top flight of the Republic of Ireland.
Melia also broke the record for the youngest goal-scorer in the Leinster Senior Cup when he came on against Wexford and scored a goal at just 15 years and 132 days old. According to Football Insider via liverpool.com, the Reds are closely monitoring Melia’s progress and are considering making a move for the talented teenager.
Melia is a talented forward who loves to run in behind defences, with his finishing ability and link-up play being the highlights of his strengths based on the limited highlights in the public domain, already drawing comparisons to England great Harry Kane.
Kane has become one of the best forwards in the world in recent years, and if Melia can follow in his footsteps, he could become a top-class player.
Melia to the Reds?
Moreover, Liverpool has a reputation for developing young players, and Melia could benefit from the youth system at Kirkby as well. Liverpool obviously has a history of giving young players a chance to shine, and if Melia were to make the move to Anfield, he would be in good hands.
Of course, Melia is still very young, and it is important that he continues to develop at his own pace. A move to Liverpool could provide him with the platform to take his game to the next level, but it is important to remember that he is still a teenager with a lot to learn.
While he has shown a lot of promise at St Patrick’s Athletic, he will certainly need to continue to work hard to fulfil his potential.
At just 15, he has already made history in Ireland and is considered one of the brightest prospects in the country. If Liverpool manage to sign him, they would certainly have a talented young forward who could develop into a top-class player in the future.
