Liverpool Hone Teen Winger La’More Lee Forrester After Standout Return

Recognition follows a prolific return from injury, with coaches prioritising end product from his elite speed.

Overview

  • Forrester was highlighted by The Guardian’s Next Generation list, which noted academy coaches are working to harness his pace to maximum effect.
  • He has started the season strongly at youth level, scoring three goals in five U18 matches and producing a hat-trick plus two assists in the U17 Premier League Cup against Aston Villa.
  • He became Liverpool’s second youngest U18 debutant in 2023 at 15 years, one month and nine days, underlining his early progression through the ranks.
  • U18s coach Simon Wiles said Forrester was a constant threat in a recent 1-0 loss to Leicester City that ended their Premier League Cup campaign.
  • Coverage frames his rise within Arne Slot’s clear pathway for youth, citing Rio Ngumoha’s rapid promotion as precedent while stopping short of any claim of an imminent senior call-up.
