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.
