LIVERPOOL'S GOT TALENT

THE accolades came thick and fast for Kaide Gordon – the latest kid off the Kop conveyer belt of teenage talent.

At 16 years, 351 days the winger lured from hard-up Derby, for a fee which could rise to £3.4million, was not overawed by his call-up for Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup vitory at Norwich.

An affectionate arm around the shoulder and a well done from proud manager Jurgen Klopp following the 3-0 win confirmed the Anfield belief in their latest precocious talent was not just hype.

Gordon had played his part with some enterprising runs and confident attempts at goal but there is still plenty of hard work ahead if he is to avoid the fate of similar young wannabees.
