Sheffield Wednesday fell into administration, and Liverpool s youth training department is keeping a close eye on the team s players

Hupu reported on October 30th that the "Daily Mail" Liverpool and team reporters published the Liverpool Weekly Report. This part is about youth training and other news.

The Reds are keeping a close eye on Owls young talents

Liverpool scouts have appeared at Sheffield Wednesday's youth team games many times this season. The club fell into bankruptcy administration last week and has financial difficulties. Many teams are interested in taking the opportunity to sign its most promising young players.

It is not yet clear which players Liverpool are scouting, but the "Post" has learned that the Red Army's head of youth recruitment, Chris Dowling, has appeared at Sheffield Wednesday's training base at Middlewood Road many times.

Arsenal and Manchester City are also among the teams investigating Sheffield Wednesday's youth team. Manchester City signed Kelan Kadamatri for £1.5 million this summer. His father is Danny Kadamatri who played for Everton, and his brother Bailey is a member of the Sheffield Wednesday first team.

Nalo was comforted by his teammates

A pub quiz question that will still be discussed ten years later: Which Liverpool player was sent off in his first two games for the club? The answer is none other than Amara Nallo. The young defender must have hoped that the end of this question would be "...and then started a shining career" rather than "...and never got a chance to play again."

In recent years, in the U21 echelon and the European Youth League, the 18-year-old former West Ham defender has shown great talent-excellent ball control ability, strong body and fast speed. For his own good, let’s hope he gets more opportunities in the coming months.

But what is gratifying is that Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate walked directly into the tunnel after the game to comfort Nalo. Although he only played 16 minutes in his career, he suffered a lot of setbacks. The two senior guards told others that no one can make mistakes without being a sage, and the most important thing now is to let go of the past. This is what good leadership is all about.

Leo Ngumogha completes professional signing

When Rio Ngumogha's friends threw him a party last week, he was wearing a brand called "Paid in Full" - which was aptly named.

The reason for celebrating this party is that at the age of 17, he signed his first professional contract with Liverpool. He specially invited about eight friends from south London to come and get together.

This was not the raucous party that some readers imagined - Ngumoha was not of legal age even if he wanted to drink, and he had no intention of doing so - but he still made a speech to those present.

For Ngumoha, this year has been a year of ups and downs. Although his base salary is not high compared to some of his teammates, bonuses can keep his income at a good level. But money is not the key for this player, who also had many outstanding performances in Liverpool's loss to Crystal Palace.

Trent is expected to return to Anfield

After Real Madrid's main right back Dani Carvajal confirmed that he will be injured for a long time, Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to make his debut when Real Madrid visits Anfield on Tuesday.

Since joining Real Madrid, Alexander-Arnold's situation has not been smooth, but as the "Post" reported six weeks ago, he has been hoping to recover from his injury in time to catch up with last weekend's Spanish Clasico and then face his old club Liverpool. The England international was an unused substitute in Real Madrid's 2-1 win over Barcelona.

The reaction of Anfield fans to him will be interesting to watch. He has been booed by home fans in the past, but that anger has subsided. Having said that, many Liverpool fans would still have no hesitation in welcoming him back, given the current desperate need for him on the pitch.

Youth training focus: The rise of "Stardust Figee"

In the youth derby held in Kirkby, Liverpool's U21 echelon defeated Everton 4-1, with Carol Figueroa (nicknamed "Figuero") scoring a hat-trick. For the 19-year-old, the past week may have been his brightest moment since joining the youth academy in May 2024. He also had an outstanding performance in the UEFA Youth League's thrilling 5-4 away victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.

The United States youth international was originally discovered by Liverpool scouts while representing FC Dallas in the Youth Championship. He has already represented the United States U20 national team, but there is still a chance to switch nationality and choose to play for England or his birthplace of Honduras.

Figueroa's father, Menor, played for Wigan Athletic and Hull City in the Premier League before going to the United States and ending his career in Major League Baseball. Menor is now back in England, playing for Wythenshawe FC in the Sunday League with several other former professional players.

Little Figueroa is one of the many "second-generation stars" in the Liverpool team, including Jaden Dance (father Neil), Lewis Koumas (father Jason), Prince Cisse (father Djibril) - and the talented forward Finn Inglethorpe, whose father Alex is the director of the youth training camp.

"Figi is physically strong and his presence allows us to break through the opponent's press," U21 head coach Rob Page said in an interview with the "Daily Mail". "We see that the Premier League's style of play has become more direct again, and he can help us achieve this."

"I never communicate with their fathers! Maybe they can provide more professional feedback after the game, but I will not contact them directly. Their football awareness level is indeed higher than some people."

Figueroa came on as a substitute in Liverpool's loss to Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

Loan Observation: The Red Army players in Ajax had a slow start

Liverpool has three relevant people in Ajax worth paying attention to this season.

Arne Slott’s former right-hand man, John Heitinga, had a difficult start to his coaching career, but last weekend he led the team to narrow the points gap with leader Feyenoord - from 9 points to 6 points.

As the main goalkeeper, Viteslav Jaros gets the opportunity to play every week, but the young midfielder James McConnell has been criticized by the local media in Amsterdam. Both joined Ajax on one-year loan contracts. Dutch football experts revealed this week that McConnell, like many in the squad, has been affected by Heitinga's frequent changes to the starting lineup. "This is a bad team," one source said. "The club is in crisis."

Ajax has only lost one game in the league this season, but four draws have left them missing out on points and currently ranked fourth. In the Champions League, their performance was even more dismal, losing all three games in the group stage, including a 0-4 defeat to Marseille and a 1-5 loss to Chelsea.

The good news for Slott is that his beloved Feyenoord looks to be the strongest team in the Netherlands.

The bad news is that his two loan players have difficulty adapting to the new environment, and his good friend Heitinga can only barely retain his coaching position.
