The 15-year-old set to go on Reds' pre-season tour

Teenage forward Josh Abe is set to join the Liverpool squad on their pre-season tour to the USA this summer. Abe turns 16 three days before Andoni Iraola's side head out to the States and the right winger, who is primarily left footed, has also been given a first-team squad number (40) for the 2026-27 season. Last month, Abe committed his future to Liverpool despite interest from Manchester City , Manchester United and Chelsea , signing scholarship terms with a pre-contract agreement in place for a three-year professional deal to start when he turns 17 next summer. Born in Warrington, he joined the club's pre-academy at the age of four and became the youngest player to play for Liverpool in the Uefa Youth League last season. Abe also trained with the first team on occasions under Arne Slot and is expected to carry on training frequently with the seniors after pre-season. He has also represented England at youth level.
