The striker joins the likes of Harvey Elliott and Neco Williams, who undoubtedly have bright futures ahead of them at Anfield. With the Premier League title all but wrapped up, Jurgen Klopp may opt to give the youngsters some valuable first team experience once Liverpool have mathematically secured the league crown.

Many Kopites are thrilled with the announcement of Hardy’s new deal, with one tweeting that it is a “great piece of business”. Adding another attacking option to Klopp’s arsenal is important as Liverpool look to keep pushing for silverware.
