Conor Bradley has attracted plaudits whilst on international duty with the Northern Ireland team.
The 21-year-old has featured six times for Liverpool this season, amassing only 169 minutes of action – understandable, of course, given he’s competing with Trent Alexander-Arnold for game time.
The defender registered an impressive seven goal contributions in 23 appearances last term during Jurgen Klopp’s final campaign in charge.

Michael O’Connor was quick to praise the Northern Ireland captain ahead of the Green and White Army’s 0-0 draw with Belarus.
“I don’t think Conor Bradley will be a vocal captain but I think the way he plays, he sets standards and boys will follow him,” the former Crewe star was quoted as saying on BBC Sport.
John O’Neill was equally impressed with Conor Bradley, highlighting the footballer’s quality distribution during his latest international outing.
“I think Trai Hume and Conor Bradley have been the best going forward in terms of distribution,” the former Northern Ireland defender spoke on BBC Radio Ulster (via BBC Sport).
The 66-year-old went on to add: “That was a brilliant ball from Conor Bradley on the right hand side and unfortunately, again, he [Jamie Reid] just can’t seem to get it out from underneath his feet!”
Conor Bradley has a bright future at Liverpool
We can rest assured that Liverpool have a considerable amount of quality at right-back owing to the availability of the young fullback and teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Bradley’s latest performance for Northern Ireland would certainly indicate that. The young defender secured a 7.4/10 rating on Sofascore in a goalless outing for Michael O’Neill’s side after amassing two key passes, creating one big chance and winning 10/19 of his contested duels.
Working on the presumption that we manage to convince the 26-year-old to put pen to paper on fresh terms, the future of the right-back position will be well and truly covered.
