Liverpool FC: Building For The Future Or Stuck In The Past?

Curtis Jones' Liverpool career appears to be over — and his departure could open the door for the next generation at Anfield.

On the latest Newsround with Dave Davis, Dave breaks down the agreement that will see Jones head to Inter Milan in a €35million package, bringing an end to the academy graduate's time with his boyhood club.

But what happens next could be even more significant.

Rather than immediately replacing Jones with another established midfielder, Liverpool appear ready to give Trey Nyoni a greater role, while James McConnell's proposed loan to Preston has been halted after he was told he remains part of the first-team plans.

Dave discusses whether Liverpool are right to put their faith in youth, how Nyoni could benefit from Jones' departure and whether McConnell can force his way into the first-team picture.

There's also the latest on Federico Chiesa's physical issue, Liverpool's preparations for the trip to Newcastle and the latest loan developments as the clock continues to tick on the transfer window.

Jones is leaving. Nyoni is stepping up. McConnell is staying. Is Liverpool's midfield succession plan already inside the building? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
