17-goal wonderkid is coming to save Liverpool

Josh Sonni-Lambie has stepped up time and time again for Liverpool at youth level this season. He scored when promoted to the U19s, he registered a crucial assist and made a game changing cameo when playing for the U21s against Chesterfield in the EFL Trophy and he's been the star of the U18 team.

At the weekend, Sonni-Lambie scored and assisted in the U18 Premier League Cup against Newcastle United to help the Reds to a 2-1 victory.

The goal and the assist has taken him to 17 goal contributions in 20 games. It's an incredible return from the 17-year-old and it's a message to Liverpool's first-team.

Sonni-Lambie is ready for an opportunity. He's doing everything he can and right now when Liverpool need a player profile like him, he deserves to be given a chance.

Not only does he work tirelessly off the ball, Sonni-Lambie is also someone thrives in the half spaces. He's good at finding pockets and linking-up with his teammates.

That link-up play is his best ability. It's why even though he's a forward, he's often been played as a false nine or as an attacking midfielder just behind the striker.

Considering Dominik Szoboszlai has been forced to play right-back and Florian Wirtz is injured for the foreseeable future Sonni-Lambie could easily become Liverpool's saviour.

Against Forest, Liverpool struggled to get the ball to Isak and then Hugo Ekitike as well. Sonni-Lambie can be the answer to that solution.

It's time Slot uses him.
