Jurgen Klopp shocked the world by dropping a bombshell when he announced his departure from Liverpool at the end of the season.

The German has not only been a brilliant manager at the Merseyside club, he has done a phenomenal job of epitomizing the club’s values. Klopp and Liverpool seemed like a match made in heaven and it will be quite heartbreaking for the fans across the globe to see the charismatic manager stepping down at the end of the season.

Klopp has done a brilliant job in taking Liverpool back to the top having taken over at the club during tough times. The Merseyside giants have won every single trophy under Klopp missing several more by the narrowest of margins. Liverpool’s recruitment under Klopp have been pretty excellent while the club have also seen several top players coming through their youth ranks.

Here, we will take a look at five best young players who have come through the academy ranks and have established themselves at the highest level under Klopp.

Neco Williams

Neco Williams came through the Liverpool academy and made his senior debut under Klopp and went on to feature 33 times for the Reds at senior level. With Trent Alexander-Arnold at the club already, Williams was sold for a heft fee to Nottingham Forest in 2022.

Stefan Bajcetic

Things have not quite worked out for Bajcetic this season because of his constant injury problems but the Spaniard looked destined for great things last season. The defensive midfielder was one of the bright spots for the Reds in an otherwise forgettable last season and is regarded very highly.

Harvey Elliott

Harvey Elliott joined Liverpool from Fulham aged just 16 and has grown by leaps and bounds since then. Klopp has turned the Englishman into a central midfielder who was a right winger by trade earlier. Still only 20, Elliott already has made 96 senior appearances for Liverpool and looks like a world-class player in the making.

Curtis Jones

Curtis Jones has been one of the best Liverpool players this season and is also one of the most underrated players in the whole Premier League. The 23-year-old has already made 122 appearances for his boyhood club and has become a key figure in 'Liverpool 2.0’ under Klopp.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

Trent Alexander-Arnold came through the youth ranks of Liverpool and is arguably the best right-back in world football at the moment. The gifted full-back has made 300 appearances for his boyhood club scoring 18 goals and producing 81 assists in the process.
