Liverpool winger Ben Doak has been linked with a move away from the Merseyside club this summer amid interest from Premier League clubs.
According to a report by Football Insider, Liverpool are prepared to send Ben Doak out on loan so that he can gain regular first-team experience. However, they will only sanction a move to another Premier League club.
The 18-year-old is highly rated within the Merseyside club, and he is expected to develop into a key player for them in the near future. Doak joined Liverpool for a fee of around £600,000, and he has established himself as one of the most exciting prospects at the club.
Naturally, Liverpool are excited about his progression, and they are ready to send him out on loan to a Premier League club so that he can continue his development with more first-team action. He is unlikely to play regularly at Liverpool, and sitting on the bench at the club will not benefit him. Furthermore, he is too good for the youth level and needs to compete at a higher level to improve as a player.
It will be interesting to see where he ends up this summer. Doak could prove to be a useful acquisition for most mid-table clubs, although the newly-promoted duo of Leicester City and Southampton have shown interest in him. The 18-year-old will add pace, flair and technical ability in the final third. He is versatile enough to operate on both flanks.
Liverpool need to send Ben Doak out on loan
Liverpool need to find a club that is prepared to give him the exposure he needs right now. If the 18-year-old manages to fulfil his tremendous potential in the coming seasons, he could be a key player for Liverpool in the long term. He will certainly hope to establish himself as an indispensable asset for the Premier League club in the near future.
Liverpool need more quality and depth in the wide areas, and they must nurture talents like Ben Doak carefully. The 18-year-old could end up saving millions in the transfer market for Liverpool if he can establish himself as a first-team player for the club. It will be interesting to see where he ends up this summer. Doak needs to choose his next destination carefully, and he cannot afford to join a club where he will have a part-time role.
