Gerrard's a fan, Klopp next? Liverpool youngster Kane hoping 'perfect' loan spell can launch Reds career

Herbie Kane has been making a big impression on loan at Doncaster Rovers this season but he has his eyes on a first-team role at Anfield

Say what you like about Steven Gerrard, but he knows a player when he sees one.

It was in 2016, when writing his second autobiography, that the Liverpool legend chose to single out two young players coming through the Reds’ Academy. “These boys,” he wrote, “really caught my eye.”

One of them, Trent Alexander-Arnold, has since established himself as a first-team regular at Anfield. He’s a Liverpool starter, a full England international.
