Liverpool rising star Conor Bradley tipped for big things by Gary McAllister - 'Special player'

Gary McAllister has lavished praise on Conor Bradley, describing the Liverpool youngster as a “special player”.

The Northern Ireland international made the move to join Liverpool’s youth setup in 2019, and has developed over his five years on Merseyside.

It was only in January of this year that Bradley made his debut for The Reds, but in the following couple of months he has established himself as a key figure for manager Jurgen Klopp.

Bradley has shown no fear in competing against the best in the Premier League, with his rampaging play from full-back adding an extra dimension to Liverpool’s attacking play.

The 20-year-old has three assists to his name in seven Premier League appearances, and he grabbed a maiden goal in the win over Chelsea at the end of January.

It was Bradley’s display in the win over Chelsea that caught the eye of former Reds midfielder McAllister.

"The interesting thing is he is coming in with no fear whatsoever,” McAllister said of Bradley on TNT Sports. “He is marauding, he gets himself for forward, he is exciting to watch.

“The facts are he has got better and better with every game; he has moved up a notch.”

Commenting on footage from The Reds’ 4-1 win over Chelsea at Anfield, McAllster said: “This was the game that he arrived.

“I thought he was outstanding.

“He scored a goal; he was involved in the goals.

“I thought that was the game that the crowd went ‘wow, we’ve got a special player here’.”

The Reds are in action against Sheffield United at Anfield, live on TNT Sports, with Bradley in the starting XI.
