Liverpool sensation Conor Bradley tipped to become ‘one of the best players in the world’
Liverpool right-back Conor Bradley has continued his impressive form for Northern Ireland by scoring three goals in his last three matches, including two against Andorra in a recent friendly. The 20-year-old, who has already earned 17 international caps, is increasingly pivotal for his national team as coach Michael O’Neill plans a rejuvenation of their squad.
This achievement highlights a remarkable season for Bradley from Castlederg, who stepped up for Liverpool in the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold. He not only secured two man-of-the-match awards but also scored his debut goal for the club and celebrated his first title with the Carabao Cup triumph at Wembley.
Conor Bradley’s international colleagues are convinced that the young player is well on his way to establishing himself as one of the premier talents in his position globally, following his breakthrough season at Liverpool. Having been regarded as a promising prospect in Liverpool’s academy for some time, the 20-year-old made a compelling case for first-team opportunities after a successful loan stint at Bolton Wanderers last season.
When called upon by Jurgen Klopp to fill in for Trent Alexander-Arnold last season, Bradley made his Premier League debut against Bournemouth in a 4-0 victory in January. Later that same month, he delivered a memorable Man of the Match performance against Chelsea, contributing a goal and two assists in a 4-1 win.
Now, his international teammate Brodie Spencer has forecasted that Bradley will develop into a world-class footballer in the years ahead. Following Bradley’s two-goal performance against Andorra in a 2-0 win, the Huddersfield Town player told the Belfast Telegraph:
“Conor Bradley is going to go on to be one of the best players in the world. The season he has had, he’s been absolutely unbelievable and to be able to play alongside him is so good. It’s such a relief for me playing at center back and just having him beside me. He’s always there and supporting and he is able to get out of difficult situations, score goals and make things happen in attack. It’s great to be playing with him.”
Conor Bradley appears poised for a bright future at Liverpool, showing significant promise and potential. His emergence as a dependable option, particularly in the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold, has been notable. Bradley’s ability to seamlessly transition from the academy to senior-level football and make a meaningful impact underscores his talent and adaptability.
Having impressed during loan spells, notably at Bolton Wanderers, Bradley has demonstrated his readiness for top-tier competition. His Premier League debut against Bournemouth, where he contributed to a decisive 4-0 victory, and standout performances like his memorable display against Chelsea further highlight his growing influence.
