Liverpool U18 & U21

Did Arsenal play their u7s or something?

Morrison will go on to have a career like Wilson, they're pretty much exactly the same type of player.

Arsenal U21s suffered their heaviest defeat in Premier League 2 history as they were thrashed 7-0 away to Liverpool today.

There were some mitigating circumstances, with some players such as Ife Ibrahim and Jack Porter unavailable after featuring for the U18s in the FA Youth Cup last night, but it was still a hugely disappointing defeat.

Arsenal gave starts to schoolboy midfielders Mishel Nduka and Emerson Nwaneri, with the latter becoming the club’s youngest ever stater in Premier League 2 aged 15 years and 152 days, beating the record that was set by his brother Ethan.

There were further debuts in the second half with schoolboy Angleinou Pedro and first year scholar Saurap Sampang featuring
but it was another deeply frustrating occasion for the Arsenal academy.

Remy Mitchell made his first start of the season in goal, while Brayden Clarke was given the captain’s armband following Louie Copley’s departure on loan.

Seb Ferdinand, who usually plays as a winger, started in midfield with Charles Sagoe Jr up front.
 
High hopes for Figueroa

Francis Hernández, the new sports director of the Honduras National Teams, is already aware of the case of Keyrol Figueroa, and once the new head coach is appointed, they will schedule a meeting with him in England to try to convince him to play for Honduras. Among his various projects, Hernández will seek out more Hondurans who are playing in other countries and hold dual nationality.

Francis Hernández isn't wasting any time and already has his first "Mission Impossible" in Honduras. The new Sporting Director of the Honduran Football Federation (FFH) has marked his first major objective in red: to travel to England and convince Keyrol Figueroa to forget the Stars and Stripes and wear the Honduran jersey instead.

The strategy is clear and ambitious. Just as he convinced Lamine Yamal to choose Spain over Morocco, Hernández wants to apply the same formula with the son of the great Maynor Figueroa. Several reports confirm that the Spaniard is already aware of the situation and considers bringing back the Liverpool youth striker an absolute priority due to his elite training, something that is scarce in the local league.

According to journalist Julio Cruz, the plan is already underway. Once the new coach is appointed, an in-person meeting with Keyrol will be scheduled in the UK. The Dutch Football Federation (FFH) knows they can't continue to embarrass themselves by losing national talent, and Hernández will try to entice him with a serious sporting project, just as he did with the Barcelona star and with Dean Huijsen (who chose Spain over the Netherlands).

“I did my job by conveying the project to Lamine and his family… we managed to convince him to choose Spain,” Hernández recalled about his past success. Now, Honduran fans dream that this same persuasive power will work with the heir to the Figueroa dynasty, who currently plays for the United States.

Charlton Athletic are delighted to announce the signing of Luke Chambers on loan from Premier League side Liverpool.

The 21-year-old, left-sided defender, who joins for the remainder of the 2025/26 campaign, becomes the Addicks’ third signing of the window following the arrivals of Harry Clarke and Lyndon Dykes.

Managing Director James Rodwell commented: "Strengthening our options on the left side of our defence and at wing-back has been a key priority during this transfer window, and we’re delighted to welcome Luke, a player we’ve been monitoring for some time.

"He is technically excellent, athletic and a progressive passer.
In addition, we would like to thank Liverpool for their cooperation in allowing Luke to join us. We’re looking forward to seeing him in a Charlton shirt."

Manager Nathan Jones added: "It’s no secret that we’ve been working hard to bring in a player that can come in and contribute on our left side, including at left wing-back, so I’m delighted that Luke has joined us.

"He’s a talented, young, hungry player of real pedigree, having come through the Liverpool youth system and represented their first team, so I’m looking forward to working with him."


After putting pen to paper, Chambers said: "I'm over the moon. I know how passionate the fans are about the club and having played against Charlton last season, I know how good The Valley is so I can’t wait to get going.

"We’ve obviously got a big game on Saturday, so I’m looking forward to playing in front of the fans and showing them what I’ve got."

Born in Preston,
Chambers joined Liverpool at the age of six and progressed through the Reds’ academy to sign his first professional contract in 2021, before winning the U19 European Championship with England the following summer.

After enjoying a successful loan spell with Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock in the second part of the 2022/23 campaign, the defender was handed his Liverpool debut by Jürgen Klopp in the Reds’ 3-1 victory over Leicester City in the Carabao Cup in September 2023.

He then earned three Europa League appearances – including starts against Toulouse and Royale Union Saint-Gilloise – before spending the latter half of the 2023/24 season on loan at Wigan Athletic.

Having featured under Arne Slot during Liverpool’s pre-season tour in the summer of 2024, Chambers returned to Wigan on a season-long loan.
