Liverpool icon Kenny Dalglish talks about the Reds’ rising star Ben Doak

Ben Doak has already made a name for himself at Liverpool Football Club. The player has shown a lot of promise and at only 17, he is still very young and there’s a long way to go.

The former Celtic winger, since joining the club in March 2022 has gone from stride to stride and has featured in the Europa League for the Reds as well.

Doak has so many players to look up to when he sees around in the dressing room, including the captain of his national side, Andy Robertson. While Doak has still not played for the senior national team, he would see Robbo as someone whose lead he could follow.

“He’s only a baby, isn’t he?”

“He’s done really well in just a year-and-a-half. He’ll not be far away from it [Scotland]. He was on the bench at Brighton [last weekend] and he came on in the Europa League. If he just handles it properly, he’s got a lot of things going for him. He’s got more going for him than going against him.”

Maintaining high-performance levels, learning from every experience, and continuously improving are essential components of his development.

With the right attitude and a strong work ethic, the young winger has the opportunity to establish himself as a crucial asset for Liverpool and, potentially, for the Scotland national team.

Doak’s ceiling is undeniably high, and with the right focus, unwavering determination, and the guidance of experienced professionals, he has the opportunity to reach remarkable heights in his football career.
