The winger provides a sterling example of the kind of pathway available to elite young talents while Trey Nyoni also joins Rio in the first-team picture.
Sonni-Lambie on a hot streak
But Liverpool’s pedigree in youth talent production is deep and not just limited to those currently on the fringes of the first team.
The club’s underage sector boasts a red-hot striker at the moment who simply cannot scoring.
Joshua Sonni-Lambie first joined the Reds at U14 level having been plucked from grassroots football in London. The 17-year-old forward has since risen steadily through the ranks – from U16 to U18 and onto UEFA Youth League level.
Sonni-Lambie had his latest outing in the European arena on Tuesday afternoon as Liverpool’s U19s overcame Galatasaray in Istanbul.

With Kareem Ahmed giving Rob Page’s side the lead in the early stages, Sonni-Lambie struck again to make it five goals in only seven matches this season. He also hit the crossbar in a scintillating performance.
The striker has hit goals against Stoke (1), Burnley (2) and Blackburn (1) in the U18 Premier League and has now got stuck in on the continental stage having drawn a blank on matchday one against Atletico Madrid.
Sonni-Lambie is well-regarded around the Liverpool academy – signing his first-ever professional deal back in February 2025. It may well be only a matter of time before the teenager’s talents put him on the radar of first-team coach Arne Slot.
