The famous Liverpool ball boy who helped Trent Alexander-Arnold take his quick corner in the stunning 2019 Anfield Champions League comeback against Barcelona signs his first professional deal at the club

Oakley Cannonier, the ball boy who shot to fame for his small part in Liverpool's famous 4-0 Champions League win over Barcelona, has signed his first professional contract with the club.

The 17-year-old striker, who joined as an Under 12 from Leeds, was praised for his quick thinking in tossing a ball to Trent Alexander-Arnold which allowed the defender to catch the visitors unawares with a corner swept in by Divock Origi as Jurgen Klopp's side overturned a 3-0 deficit from the first leg of their semi-final in 2019.

Origi's goal was the fourth for Liverpool that night and sent them into the final of the tournament, which they won 2-0 against Tottenham.
