If the loan players do well, the club will be happy. At a big club like Liverpool, I’m sure there will be a few players whose development stagnates or slows due to a lack of options to play above them.
The advantage of the loan system is that players can show what they can do and continue to develop their game in the hope of returning to Anfield as key players. Let’s take a quick look at some of the best loan players. Tyler Morton – Hull CityMorton won the Championship by becoming an integral part of Hull’s midfield.
He appeared in 26 matches, scoring three more goals and providing four assists. However, he spent most of his time in midfield and excelled there. His possession rate of almost 88% is better than any other player at Anfield.
If Conor Bradley enjoyed a fantastic loan spell last season before returning to Liverpool this season, could the same happen to Morton? I wouldn’t pass at all. Fabio Carvalho – Hull CityAfter a disappointing run for RB Leipzig earlier this season, where he scored just one goal in 19 appearances, Carvalho appears to be back on track.
Since joining England in January, he has played four times in a senior role. He looked much more comfortable and resembled the quality talent Liverpool bought from Fulham. The most important thing for him for the rest of the season is to stay healthy and log practice minutes.
Sepp van den Berg – FSV Mainz 05The young centre-back had a good season at one of Jurgen Klopp’s old clubs in Germany. The Dutchman has played in 22 games this season and performed well each time. His growth and development could be a highlight.
The Reds defense looks to be the next group that will need an overhaul in the near future. Van den Bergh, 22, continues to grow in his frame and is slowly picking up his game. This is the symbol of a perfect credit period.
Calvin Ramsey-BoltonThe young Scottish right-back has seen Bradley step in to succeed Trent Alexander-Arnold this season. Since moving to Liverpool, he has struggled with injuries and is in desperate need of fitness. Bradley has so far made three appearances for Wanderers since moving to Bolton in the last transfer window.
In both, he was deployed as a right midfielder to further develop his versatility. He has yet to prove his ability to score in Scotland, but having him on the field is a victory in itself.
