"Josh Sonni-Lambie was the match winner for Liverpool U18s on Saturday as the team cope with the loss of Josh Abe to a season-ending injury. Abe injured himself while playing for England U16s this weekend and will not play again before the campaign finishes. With the 15-year-old's future currently up in the air, there is a chance that Abe's career with Liverpool is now over."
"In the meantime, Sonni-Lambie's looks to be only just starting, as the striker continues to score goals at U18 level. On Saturday, he notched for the 21st time to underline his status as a potential first-team player."
"While being prolific at U18 level is no sure-fire sign of success to come with the senior team, Sonni-Lambie has the look of a player who is only getting better and better. Abe may have been the breakout player who everyone was talking about at the AXA Training Centre, and the teenager is surely the biggest youth team talent on Liverpool's books right now."
Liverpool U18s faced Middlesbrough on Saturday with striker Josh Sonni-Lambie delivering a match-winning performance. Sonni-Lambie scored his 21st goal of the season with a dinked finish from the edge of the box, continuing his prolific form at youth level. The team managed without Josh Abe, who suffered a season-ending injury while representing England U16s and may no longer continue his career at Liverpool. At 18 years old, Sonni-Lambie demonstrates consistent improvement and goal-scoring ability that positions him as a potential first-team prospect. His continued excellence at U18 level suggests he could soon warrant consideration for senior team opportunities under manager Arne Slot.
