Liverpool Wonderkid Bobby Adekanye Turning Heads In Germany

Liverpool talent Bobby Adekanye is impressing in pre-season , having fully recovered from an injury he picked up while on international duty with the Netherlands U17s squad last term.

The Nigerian-born winger showed his special qualities as the Reds U21s came from a goal down to draw 1-1 with German third-tier club Sonnenhoff in a pre-season fixture on Saturday.

Adekanye was singled out for praise by U21s boss Michael Beale after the friendly in Germany.

Beale told liverpoolfc.com : “Herbie Kane was a strong influence in the game and both him and Bobby Adekanye worked chances for the team in the second half to maybe go on and steal a win.

“It was a good finish from Jake to get our equaliser after a really good move.”

 The 17-year-old Bobby Adekanye was in action for forty five minutes in the tie against the Germans.
