Liverpool face summer decision as Premier League clubs eye Reds’ talent

Ben Doak

Liverpool are having a fantastic season, finishing the year with a 5-0 victory over West Ham. The team is united, with players performing according to Arne Slot’s tactics, making the Reds a side to watch. Currently, Liverpool are blessed with a wealth of talented players, and to ensure each one receives the development needed to advance in their careers, the club may send some on loan. However one youngster is especially catching lots of eyes.

Liverpool on-loan star Ben Doak gave the world's second-most costliest defender Josko Gvardiol nightmares during the November international break clash between Scotland and Croatia.

Ben Doak followed a similar path after impressing in limited appearances with Liverpool’s first team. The 19-year-old winger, who rose through Liverpool’s youth ranks, joined Middlesbrough at the start of the season and quickly became a fan favourite, contributing two goals and five assists in 17 Championship starts. He also has 10 Premier League appearances with Liverpool to his name.

Doak is receiving Premier League interest

Doak has been impressing both fans and pundits, excelling not only at the Championship level but also on the international stage. Known for his rapid dribbling skills, he has thrived under Michael Carrick’s guidance at Middlesbrough, causing constant headaches for opposition defenders. The only way to contain him has often been by marking him with three players. His determination to seize his Championship opportunity hasn’t gone unnoticed.

According to Alan Nixon via One Football, Crystal Palace are keeping an eye on Doak and have shown interest in signing him. However, Doak currently favours the chance to prove himself at Liverpool before considering a move elsewhere.

When Liverpool previously gave him a chance, Doak showed potential but struggled with his end product. Now, it seems the Scottish winger is adding a clinical edge to his game.

Working alongside Mohamed Salah before his loan spell and gaining international experience with the Scottish national team, Doak has been exposed to a variety of situations that have likely enhanced his game.

At Liverpool, Arne Slot’s reputation for developing young players could provide the perfect opportunity for Doak to break into the first team. However, if he doesn’t manage to secure a regular spot at Liverpool, the chance to play consistent Premier League football with Crystal Palace, or with Middlesbrough if they gain promotion, would offer a highly promising alternative.

The possibility of Salah’s departure this season, retaining Doak could prove crucial for Liverpool. However, if he doesn’t secure a place in the first team just yet, Doak will be prepared to prioritise his own development and continue his absolute rise in professional football, ensuring his future remains bright, wherever that may be.
