At 19 years and 127 days, Trey Nyoni became the youngest player in Liverpool's history to score his first goal for the club in a Champions League match, finding the net in the 3-2 defeat by Fenerbahçe. Only Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose first goal came in a 2017 play-off, has scored in the competition for Liverpool at a younger age. Under Andoni Iraola, Nyoni has made 12 first-team appearances since a £30m offer from Nottingham Forest was rejected in the summer. Liverpool are offering him a new, improved contract, even though his current deal runs until 2030. "Trey just has to continue in the same way as since the beginning of pre-season, be ready for all of the games. We trust him, he's doing very well. We have to encourage him to continue learning, improving and getting experience. But he's in a very good place," Iraola explained. That faith has been rewarded. With Ryan Gravenberch injured and Dominik Szoboszlai only recently back, Nyoni is in line to start against Crystal Palace.
