Liverpool youth star Cameron Brannagan set for loan move



Cameron Brannagan made his Liverpool debut against Bordeaux two weeks ago



LIVERPOOL youngster Cameron Brannagan needs to go out on loan, according to under-21s manager Michael Beale.

 

Brannagan made his first-team debut for Liverpool against Bordeaux earlier this month after starring for the youth team.

The 19-year-old is highly thought of at Anfield and Beale believes the next step in his development would be a loan move away from the club.

He told the Liverpool Echo: "Cammy’s very close (to the first team) alongside Pedro (Chirivella) and Jordan Rossiter.

 

"I say very close, but the boys in front of all of them are top, top players and all internationals.

"If Brendan wants to give them a go, they’re more than ready to step up.

"For the last year, Cameron’s been very good at U21 level and we’re trying to look for somebody to take him on loan, where he can go and express at league level.

 

"Recently Brendan’s been to watch Ryan (Kent), Sheyi (Ojo), Sergi (Canos) and Harry (Wilson) playing on loan and I think that’s a step that Cameron needs to make shortly.

"If a club is interested in Cam we’re more than happy to listen.

"He is also desperate to take that next step as well. It would be lovely for him to be in and around the first team, but at the moment that would be as a bit-part player and mainly in the cup competitions.

"That was his 42nd appearance in the league for the U21s, which is almost two full seasons and we think now he needs to go out on loan."
