The 14 teenagers Klopp has signed for Liverpool – & how they’ve fared

While Jurgen Klopp has signed the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, he’s also looked to protect Liverpool’s long-term future by signing plenty of teenage prospects. 

Fabio Carvalho looks set to become the latest young player to join Liverpool when his Fulham contract expires at the end of the season.

We’ve taken a look at the 14 teenagers that Liverpool have signed during Klopp’s reign. Note: we’ve only included players who made at least one first-team appearance for the Reds.

The first permanent signing of the Klopp era, Grujic was bought in a £5.1million move from Red Star Belgrade in January 2016.

But the midfielder failed to establish himself in the Liverpool side, making just five starts and a further 11 appearances off the bench.

He spent the vast majority of his time at the club out on loan, enjoying spells at Cardiff, Hertha Berlin and Porto before joining the latter on a permanent deal in the summer of 2021.

“I would say my career at Liverpool was successful,” he told The Athletic. “OK, not in terms of games played or what I achieved for the club, but I certainly left Liverpool as a much better player than when I first arrived.

“The coaching staff helped my development and so did the loan spells I had in terms of gaining more experience.”

After leaving Fulham’s academy at the end of the 2015-16 season, Miller joined Liverpool on a free transfer and scored a hat-trick on his Under-18s debut. 

He made his one and only Liverpool appearance in February 2020, starting in an FA Cup fourth-round replay against Shrewsbury Town.

The Canada international then had a loan spell at Charlton Athletic before joining Swiss Super League club Basel on a permanent deal in 2021.
