Liverpool midfielder Jordan Rossiter may be many fans pick as the next young player to break into  first-team, but the 17-year-old has thrown another name into the proverbial hat.

In an interview with , Rossiter was asked who the most skilful player at his level was, to which he replied  .

While he made waves as a forward in the 2013 Milk Cup, more recently he has operated as a left-winger, and that flexibility could make him a fantastic addition to future Liverpool first-team squads.

As with Rossiter there is a long way for Kent to go, but the Reds continue to impress with their conveyor-belt of young talent, which shows no signs of stopping just yet

Do you agree with Rossiter's thoughts on Kent? Vincent RalphAfter graduating with a degree in English Literature, Vincent completed a NCTJ-accredited qualification in newspaper and magazine journalism in 2005. Shortly after, in a somewhat leftfield move, he began working at a secondary school in Kent. After eight years 鈥?the last four of which were spent as Head of Sixth Form 鈥?he began to write full-time, combining his love of football with his passion for the written word.
