Liverpool was discovered to be negotiating a deal in March that would circumvent the UK's post-Brexit ban on recruiting players from outside the country before they turned 18, Trent Kone-Doherty, who was only 15 at the time, had already experienced playing with the first team at Derry City and was attracting the attention...
Of scouts on the other side of the Irish Sea, because of this, Kone-Doherty was able to transfer before turning 18 while playing for his team in the League of Ireland Premier Division, the top division in the Republic of Ireland, within three months, a contract was signed, and the youngster posed with Derry City coaches
While wearing a Liverpool shirt, a month later, as he signed his scholarship, he reflected on a "surreal" experience, although the deal's contents were kept under wraps, an estimated £150,000 compensation sum has been conjectured, while Kone-Doherty has had a hand in 13 goals and striker Lewis Koumas has contributed
With 15, no player has scored and assisted more combined than Ben Doak, with nine goals and seven assists in just 15 academy games, the Scot's transfer from Celtic to Liverpool has been incredibly smooth. His scintillating brand of direct attacking play on the right wing has also been supported by this.
If two young players join Liverpool and excel on either flank, headline writers might declare them to be the long-term replacements for Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz but despite their bubbly behavior since moving from Merseyside to Scotland and Northern Ireland, patience is required with Doak and Kone-Doherty.
