Amazing… The 20-year-old player that Leeds has been connected to astounds Jurgen Klopp.
After a fantastic loan at Bolton, where he contributed to 13 goals in 53 appearances, Bradley was an intriguing young player who was having trouble finding any playing time. This season, he has only made five appearances for the Reds.
However, the 20-year-old might now be in line for a lot more playing time. It follows the announcement by Liverpool’s assistant manager Pepijn Ljinders that Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss some time due to an injury.
It follows rumors that Leeds was considering a bid for the Northern Ireland star. However, Bradley was given the starting nod against Fulham on Wednesday night in the Carabao Cup semi-final due to Alexander-Arnold’s absence.
Bradley played the whole first leg of the contest, as Liverpool overcame a 2-1 deficit to win. After the Reds’ victory over the Cottagers, Klopp praised him, calling him “wonderful.”
What a young man. Outstanding, amazing, full of promise, genuine talent, and he’s with the ideal team. Everyone respects him, loves him, and wants him to be successful, Klopp said to Sky Sports.

Leeds have let Djed Spence and Luke Ayling leave the club this month without replacing them. On the right flank, Leeds have only Jamie Shackleton and Archie Gray as possibilities.
