Jayden Danns’ spectacular rise as Everton left unhappy and Liverpool starlet’s dad sends emotional message

Jayden Danns made his Liverpool first team debut in the 4-1 win over Luton and helped set up Harvey Elliott’s final goal.
It was while working for Bolton Wanderers in 2015 where I first crossed paths with Liverpool’s latest debutant – Jayden Danns.
His father, Neil, had signed permanently for Bolton a month before my own arrival at the club following a successful year on loan from Leicester City. When producing an early feature interview with the Liverpool-born midfielder, I first became aware that Danns’ talents were not limited to the pitch.
He is a talented musician having inherited such skills from his own father, Neil Sr, who was a backing singer on the UK’s entry in the 1987 Eurovision Song Contest – as well as a European title-winning skateboarder. Neil has passed on such skills to his daughter, Hayla, who represented the UK in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest last year.
As is the case when working full-time behind the scenes at any club, you do cross paths with the players’ families. I vaguely remember Jayden, who could have only been eight at the time, excitedly running around in the tunnel on matchdays and going out to kick a ball on the pitch long after the final whistle. He’d also accompany his father around the pitch on those traditional end of season lap of honours.
By this point, he had just signed for Liverpool’s academy. Still, little did I know that 10 years on from first crossing paths with Neil, I’d actually start reporting on his son playing for the Reds. And having seen him already score a number of goals at academy level this season and last, Danns junior now has a first team appearance under his belt.
While I find that somewhat surreal – and I’m very much not alone on that score as will soon become clear! – spare a thought for Jay Spearing. The 35-year-old and Neil were team-mates for three years at Bolton, making 64 appearances together. Having returned to the Reds as an academy player-coach in the summer of 2022, Spearing has found himself coaching Jayden with the Under-18s, and now playing alongside him as an overage player for the Under-21s.
Danns’ rise this season has been spectacular, with the prolific striker scoring 21 goals at academy level to catch Jurgen Klopp’s eye in the first place. Yet the majority of them have come with the Under-18s.
It is only since the turn of the year that he has stepped up to become a regular starter for the Under-21s, only making his Premier League 2 debut on January 13. Inevitably, he scored in a 4-2 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, with his record in PL2 now standing at two goals and two assists from four appearances.
Yet just 39 days on from that maiden appearance, he found himself handed his senior debut as a substitute in Wednesday night’s 4-1 victory over Luton. Admittedly, such an outing would perhaps not have come so soon if not for a severe Liverpool injury crisis, but Danns certainly made his presence felt in his first Premier League appearance.
Introduced in the 89th minute in place of Luis Diaz, he made his presence felt immediately by winning possession in midfield. Moments later, he’d claim an assist of sorts, pouncing on a loose ball after dropping deep, turning well and threading it through to Cody Gakpo. While a last-gasp sliding tackle denied the Dutchman a shot when through on goal, Harvey Elliott was on hand to hammer home the follow-up.
“Where to start,” father Neil posted on Instagram after the game. “Tonight was one of the proudest nights of my life. To see you achieve the first steps of your dreams fills my heart with pride.
“To watch you work and work for your goals is a privilege to be part of. Proud of you son, keep pushing. Love you.”
In the comments, former Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant shared how the ‘penny dropped’ regarding the family connection following Danns’ introduction. Given that Luton boss Rob Edwards joked that he had played against Neil to both Klopp and the young striker after the final whistle, such exchanges will not be rare.
Meanwhile, boxer Tony Bellew, who is best friends with Neil, put aside his Everton allegiances to pay tribute to Liverpool’s latest debutant after the final whistle.
“Truly amazing! This young man has worked so hard and dedicated his whole life to football!” he wrote on social media. “To see him make his premier league debut makes me so happy and proud of him! Keep shining J, you’re doing great young king.”
Jayden has been surrounded by professional sportsmen and high achievers his whole life. Many already knew the name, but he is continuing to make it in his own right, to the delight of so many watching on.
While a big, pacey, powerful striker at academy level – traits that make him a defender’s nightmare – dropping deep and picking out key passes is not foreign to Danns either. He did just that behind Lewis Koumas for Liverpool Under-18s’ 7-1 thrashing of Arsenal in the FA Youth Cup last month as both terrorised the Gunners.
Meanwhile, while the central striker against Stoke Under-21s with the Welshman on the left, it was his reverse pass from deep that played in his fellow forward for his second goal. A prolific finish alongside such traits, he really is emerging as an all-round forward
And before a drastic growth spurt, he often found himself compared to Reds legend Roberto Firmino in the club’s academy.
“When I was young, I used to get compared to (Roberto) Firmino,” he recently told the club. “I wasn’t as tall when I was younger, I was quite a late developer, and then all in a short period of time everything hit me at once.
“Back in the day I was like a No.9-and-a-half, where I’m still a No.9 but I love to drop in. The last couple of years, I’ve started to run in behind more as I’ve got more physical and believed in my pace a little bit more.
“One of my goals last season was to work on my pressing, to be honest. It’s got a lot better with my physicality as I’ve grown into my body but also when you add the work that we’ve put into it to keep pressing and keep counter-pressing… you can see the results.
“I think at least four of my goals this season are off pressing a man and they might give it away for me to go and slip in behind and score.”
With Klopp’s trademark hard-working pressing game evident throughout the academy, Danns’s intense work-rate is also clear as he thrives when defending from the front and leading the press, and was very much on show against Luton in his brief time on the pitch.
While Danns has 21 goals at academy level this season, unique superstition means he tries his hardest to avoid such a fact himself.
“I’m a superstitious person,” he admitted to the club website. “I’ve got this superstition that as soon as I start counting my goals, the goals will stop. I haven’t been counting them and hopefully they keep coming.”
Only the striker himself will know if he plans to similarly not keep track of his own total of first team appearances after making his first team debut.
Having started to train with Klopp’s first team in recent weeks, prompting the German to name-drop him in press conferences on more than one occasion, Danns’ senior breakthrough is not a shock. There was a suspicion that he would be handed a maiden matchday squad appearance against Luton, after all, when his manager referenced him when previewing the game.
His rise has still been eye-catching though, of course, with the teenager himself determined to make up for lost time. He missed roughly eight months of action at Under-16s level when suffering with Osgood-Schlatter’s disease. Undergoing a drastic growth spurt, it causes pain in the knee for growing teens.
At the start of last season, a source close to the striker conceded to the ECHO that it would take the striker a few months to get up to speed and get his co-ordination back following his growth spurt. Now 18 months on and he is flourishing and hungry for more.
“When you get up there, you’ve got to keep the standard that they’re keeping,” he recently said of training with the first team. “It’s all a new level and I really want to work hard to become the players that they are right now.
“My only focus is to put my all into what I’m doing and keep practising and keep doing extras to get where they are. My long-term aim is to be the best player I can possibly be.
“I don’t want to end my career and have any regrets where I could have worked harder. I’d rather just put all the work in and try to get as much as I can from it. Step by step, I want to become the player that I envision.”
Meanwhile, of his prolonged stint on the sidelines, he recalled: “In the space of such a short time, I think I went from 5ft 2in to 6ft I was out for like eight months with Osgood and that was a tough time for me. You’re thinking, ‘Why’s this happening to me?’
“Obviously when you get back you start to appreciate it so much. Coming back, I just tried to get the most out of what I can really.
“But it makes you learn things and learn different ways to improve. If you look at me last season, I don’t think I was as powerful. I was a bit more leggy and Bambi-like!
“This season, I’m really filling out into my body and I’m just enjoying my football at the moment. I like making runs forward, I like dropping in deep to get the ball. It feels like everything is coming together. I’m just really enjoying it.”
He was enjoying it even more against Luton, with Klopp revealing a touching exchange with his latest debutant after the final whistle.
“I am so happy the kids came on and played,” he said. “Dannsy said 50 times, ‘Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!’ I am so happy I could give them that opportunity. It’s just nice and the boys deserve it.”
Of course, the teenager is equally grateful to his family for all help and guidance along the way.
“If I didn’t have him, there’d be moments where I didn’t want to practise and it isn’t drilled into my head,” Danns recently said about his dad. “Now I think I’m into that routine to where it’s hard to fail if you really want it that much.
“That’s been drilled into me – if you really want it, work as hard as possible and you’ll get that because you’ve got the talent and the physicality now. My mum helps with the diet and that side as well. I’m in debt for the rest of my life really, I owe my life to them.”
While Danns is now a Liverpool player, things could have been rather different. Both Everton and Manchester United were chasing his signature, before he signed for the Reds.
“He was doing futsal at Edge Hill Tennis Centre and Everton were the first to approach us about him,” father Neil recalled in an exclusive interview with the ECHO last season. “The next week Liverpool approached us.
“I know Everton weren’t happy about that at the time – it was like a little battle. We took him to Everton, Liverpool and Manchester United so he could appreciate the different styles, but we always knew we were going to Liverpool.
“The whole family supports Liverpool so we always knew that. From the age of eight, he has gone all the way through since then.
“I’m unbelievably proud. He has still got a long way to go as he’s only 16, but he has got the right attitude and mindset to go as far as he wants. I just said to him he has to work hard every day and enjoy his football.
“The main thing is to keep learning each day and it has been amazing to watch him develop. He made his England debut last year and scoring in that was one of the proudest moments a father can have. For me, it was just about him having fun and playing football.
“Everton approached us and we thought, ‘Oh, that’s good someone has noticed him’. We weren’t actively looking for him to get a club, he was just there to enjoy himself.”
He continued: “It would mean so much to me (if he played for the first team) because I know how much he wants it and the work he puts into it. I just want him to live out his dreams.
“The realism of it all is that to make your debut for Liverpool Football Club, you’ve got to bring that hard work and have a bit of luck along the way too. I don’t ever want him to be too down or stressed whatever happens because there is a lot of pressure on youngsters.”
All being well, there will be many more proud days to come as Danns’ dream just became a reality. But both player and club will hope that this is only the beginning.

Liverpool achieve incredible never-before-done record as Arne Slot makes more history vs Brighton
Liverpool set a new club record against Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex on Monday (May 19).
Arne Slot left the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson and Luis Diaz on the bench for Monday’s Premier League clash against Brighton.
Bit part players such as Jarell Quansah, Kostas Tsimikas, Conor Bradley, Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa filled the void as a sea of red in the away end brought a party atmosphere to the south coast.
And things started well, as Elliott prodded home Bradley’s cut back just nine minutes in.
In doing so, the 22-year-old Fulham academy graduate set a never-before-done club record.
Elliott’s goal means the Reds have scored in all 19 of their Premier League away fixtures this season, something previous Liverpool sides have failed to do.
The feat has been achieved just nine times in English football, and only four times in a 20-team league.
In 2001/02, both Arsenal and Manchester United won all 19 away matches, with the Gunners’ 1930/31 side coming away as victors in all 21 of their away games.
Fans were quick to give their thoughts on social media.
One said: “Incredible record. And with just one home game left after this, they just need to score in that, then they’ve scored in almost every home game too!”
Another added: “Champions for a reason.”
A third commented: “And almost all of our home games.”
Slot himself explained how his side’s positive away record “means a lot” during a recent press conference.
“Yeah, it definitely means a lot to me,” said Slot. “I didn’t know the exact numbers. One of the first games we played away, I mentioned this to the players; I showed them their away form in a team meeting in one of the away games [that] I think this we have to improve, one of the things we have to improve – not the only thing – if we want to be able to be there in the end competing for the league.
“That’s what we did really well throughout the whole season, our away form has been good. But our home form has been quite good as well. That’s the only way in a difficult league like this to challenge, because [there are] so many good teams, so many teams are able to win more games in a row. So if you want to win the league over here you need to have both, good away form and good home form.”

Of course, Slot has already achieved a record of his own this season by becoming the first Dutch head coach to win the Premier League.
After tonight, Liverpool’s attention will turn to their final game of the season against Crystal Palace at Anfield on Sunday (May 25), when fans will get to see Reds captain Van Dijk lift the Premier League trophy. The next day, the team will parade the trophy through the streets of the city, where hundreds of thousands of supporters will be gathered.

Liverpool ‘make decision’ on allowing Trent Alexander-Arnold to join Real Madrid early ahead of Club World Cup
Liverpool have reportedly made a decision on whether to allow Trent Alexander-Arnold to join Real Madrid early.
After months of speculation, it was confirmed earlier in the month that Alexander-Arnold will depart Anfield this summer, upon the expiration of his contract.
The 26-year-old explained his decision to leave his boyhood club in an emotional video posted on social media.
He said: “This is easily the hardest decision I’ve ever made in my life.
“This club has been my whole life – my whole world – for 20 years. From the Academy right through until now, the support and love I have felt from everyone inside and outside of the club will stay with me forever. I will forever be in debt to you all.”
It is widely expected that Alexander-Arnold will join Spanish giants Madrid on a free transfer upon leaving Liverpool.
As things stand, Alexander-Arnold’s contract with Liverpool is set to expire on June 30.
However, Madrid would like him to join the club before that, as the FIFA Club World Cup is set to begin on June 15.
In order for that to happen, it has been reported that the two clubs could discuss a fee for Alexander-Arnold’s early release.
Now, as reported by Spanish news outlet Diario AS, via Madrid Zone on social media, Madrid will pay Liverpool €2 million for Alexander-Arnold and he will join the club before the start of the FIFA Club World Cup.
Fabrizio Romano wrote on social media: “Real Madrid have offered €2M to Liverpool for Trent to play at the Clubs World Cup, reports Diario AS.”
During Liverpool’s first match since Alexander-Arnold’s exit was confirmed, the 26-year-old was booed as he replaced Conor Bradley against Arsenal.
Reacting to the boos, Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah was left unimpressed.
He said: “I think somehow the fans were being harsh with him.
“I think he didn’t deserve it at the time, he deserved the fans to treat him the best way possible because he gave it all to the fans.”
Liverpool are back in Premier League action on Monday night when they take on Brighton and Hove Albion at the AMEX.
Liverpool
Mo Salah hits out at Liverpool fans over their treatment of Trent Alexander-Arnold and makes request to fans
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has given his take on the actions of the club’s supporters who decided to boo Trent Alexander-Arnold at Anfield.
Alexander-Arnold, 26, was greeted with a chorus of boos from some sections of the home supporters inside Anfield when he was introduced in the second half of Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal last Sunday.
This came just under a week on from his announcement, which confirmed that he will leave his hometown club upon the expiration of his contract in June 2025.
It must be stated that some fans chose to applaud the right-back while others sang the names of Conor Bradley and Steven Gerrard.
And it’s fair to say the actions of the supporters, in particular the booing, has divided opinion.
“I’m surprised how many [booed],” former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher said when he spoke on Sky Sports last Sunday.
“For me, I don’t believe any player putting on that red shirt who goes on to win trophies should be being booed.
“Booing one of your own players while they’re playing is not for me.”
On Friday (May 16), Salah gave an interview to former Manchester United captain Gary Neville, which was released via Sky Sports, and he did not hold back with his words on the treatment of Alexander-Arnold.
Salah said: “I think somehow the fans were being harsh with him.
“I think he didn’t deserve it at the time, he deserved the fans to treat him the best way possible because he gave it all to the fans.”
When pressed on whether the boos saddened him, he added: “Absolutely. I was surprised because this is not how we act as Liverpool fans.
“We shouldn’t act this way with anyone who always appreciates the people, who came here even for six months.
“Imagine someone who gives you his all for 20 years. It’s shouldn’t be like this. I hope that will change next game, against Brighton or in the last game of the season, because he deserves the farewell.”
The Egyptian continued: “I told him [Alexander-Arnold] yesterday don’t give me eye contact in your farewell.
“I really love him. I think he deserves the best farewell leaving the club. He has done a lot for the city and done a lot for the club and he’s one of probably the best players in the club’s history. He gave it all.
“I think he needed a new challenge. He spoke to me about it. It’s his decision for sure. He’s 25, 26 years old and won it all twice or three times. What more can he have done?
“He just needs to go, change and challenge himself. People don’t know about it much but he spent 20 years in the club.
“It’s so tough mentally for someone to be 20 years in a club. Yeah I do love the place but going every day to the same place for 20 years, mentally you could get depressed.
“I really wish him the best. I’ll always be in contact with him.”
Alexander-Arnold has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid – although this has not been confirmed.
Liverpool
Liverpool have ‘noticed’ player behaving like Trent Alexander-Arnold and are ‘afraid’ he’ll follow right-back to Real Madrid
Liverpool have reportedly noticed one of their players is ‘behaving’ like Trent Alexander-Arnold, with fears growing that he could follow the Englishman to Real Madrid.
Earlier in the month, it was confirmed that Alexander-Arnold will leave Liverpool at the end of the season.
The full-back confirmed his decision by posting an emotional video on social media.
During Liverpool’s first match since Alexander-Arnold’s exit was confirmed, the 26-year-old was booed as he replaced Conor Bradley against Arsenal.
It has been widely reported that Alexander-Arnold will join Spanish giants Madrid upon the expiration of his Liverpool contract.
On the back of the Alexander-Arnold saga, it has been claimed that another Liverpool star could also be lured away by Los Blancos.
French defender Ibrahima Konate will be a free agent in the summer of 2026 and is yet to sign a new deal with Liverpool.
Recently, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano said: “Ibrahima Konate is in negotiations over a new deal [with Liverpool] but there is still no full agreement on some crucial points.
“Real Madrid have decided to go strongly on a new centre-back for the summer transfer window… important to mention that Konate is another name on Madrid’s list. He’s out of contract in 2026, so it’s for sure a situation to follow.”
As reported by Spanish news outlet MARCA, Liverpool are ‘experiencing a very strange feeling’ from Konate and are beginning to ‘detect ghosts very similar to those they felt just a year ago, when Alexander Arnold began to turn his back on the proposal.
Madrid are said to be closing in on a deal to sign Bournemouth’s young defender Dean Huijsen.
Romano wrote on social media: “Dean Huijsen’s camp, still in Madrid today to get the deal done with final details being sorted.
“Almost there.”
Madrid are back in La Liga action this weekend when they take on Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.

Private jet lands in England – Liverpool spotted in secret transfer talks: report
Liverpool may have taken a major step forward in the race for one of Europe’s most exciting talents, following a covert meeting that has only now come to light.
German football insider Christian Falk, via The Daily Briefing on Substack, revealed that the Wirtz family — representatives of Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz — recently flew to England, visiting both Blackpool and Manchester, where a meeting with Liverpool is believed to have taken place.
Taking off at 10am aboard a private Embraer Legacy 550 jet and returning via a discreet Dutch-German airstrip, the family’s movements were tracked and exposed as part of the German journalist’s latest report.
While Manchester City have already made their move, it’s understood the Reds may now be ahead in the race for the 21-year-old playmaker.
Paul Joyce also shared a belief that the Reds were ready to make a ‘strong pitch’ to the player in order to lure him to Anfield.
Florian Wirtz is wanted by many top clubs in Europe
The Germany international, under contract until 2027, is also wanted by Bayern Munich, who still feel confident they’ll land him either this summer or in 2026.
But with Liverpool now in the conversation — and reportedly further ahead than Pep Guardiola’s side — hopes are rising that the club could pull off a major coup.
David Ornstein shared his insight on a ‘growing confidence’ from the Reds that we could pull off an interesting transfer.
It’s not the first time the 2003-born midfielder has been linked with a move to the Premier League, but this is the clearest sign yet that Liverpool are positioning themselves seriously.
Wirtz would represent a statement signing for what is expected to be a very busy summer for the Reds.
With Blackpool as the unexpected backdrop and Manchester as the meeting point, this one could quietly be heating up behind the scenes.

Liverpool talent pens emotional letter ahead of imminent exit – ‘it pains me to let you down’
Latest Liverpool news as midfielder Stefan Bajcetic writes an emotional message to Las Palmas fans after their relegation from La Liga was confirmed
Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic has penned an emotional message after Las Palmas’ relegation to the La Liga 2. The Spaniard has been on loan in the Canary Islands after his ill-fated temporary spell with RB Salzburg.
The 20-year-old was allowed a loan move at the beginning of Arne Slot’s tenure after he was forced to sit out of the majority of Jurgen Klopp’s final season in charge of Liverpool through injury. He followed former Reds assistant manager Pep Lijnders to Austria, however his time was cut short during the Janaury transfer window after he was limited to 895 minutes in 19 appearances.
He joined Las Palmas and was immediately thrust into a relegation battle as they looked to avoid relegation from the Spanish top-flight.
In a post on Instagram, he expressed his sadness at failing to help his loan side avoid the drop and thanked supporters.
“These are tough days for everyone, but especially for you, the fans,” he wrote.
“We haven’t been able to achieve our goal of staying in the league you deserve. In four months, I’ve realised how much this club’s fans love, and it pains me deeply to have let you down.
I’m sure you’ll return to where this club belongs, and I’ll always be cheering you on as one of your own.
“Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all the support and for always being there.”
He has scored one goal in 14 appearances for Las Palmas, coming in the 3-1 defeat at Mallorca, in a much-needed loan spell as he looks to re-establish himself as a first-team option.
Speaking at the time of his arrival, he expressed his desire to improve as a player with the club.
“It was important that the players on loan are also playing and increasing their value here,” he said after joining.
“Las Palmas is a team that plays good football and gives opportunities to players who come on loan.
“I hope there will be some for me too. Considering things, it was the best option for me, I want to grow as a footballer.
“I think I can improve here.
“I spoke with the coach (Diego Martinez) before signing, and from the start, he gave me a lot of confidence.
“He is also from Vigo, like me.
“He asked me to bring the attitude I have from my ‘Serbian side’.
“To come with attitude and commitment, and I told him that will not be lacking.
“I’m ready to play right away. If the coach gives me the chance, I’ll be there. “

Liverpool at “final stages” of transfer negotiations, player set to accept 5-yr deal to join Reds
Liverpool at “final stages” of transfer negotiations, player set to accept 5-yr deal to join Reds
Liverpool are set to finalise the transfer of Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong as they aim to wrap everything up before their final game of the season against Crystal Palace.
Sources have revealed to CaughtOffside that talks are now at the “final stages” as the Reds see off competition from Manchester City for the Dutchman’s signature.
Frimpong has quickly been identified as the unanimous choice within the club to replace the departing Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The England international is set to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, and CaughtOffside have also been told that Frimpong would have been a target for the Spanish giants if they’d missed out on the incoming free agent.
Jeremie Frimpong to join Liverpool for €40m on five-year contract
CaughtOffside can reveal that Liverpool are set to trigger Frimpong’s €40m release clause at Leverkusen, with the player set to accept a five-year contract at Anfield.
Personal terms between LFC and Frimpong have been largely agreed, with just commission with his agents left to be settled, and no issues anticipated.
Liverpool have been eager to work quickly to get this signing done, especially with the awareness that other top clubs like Man City have also been monitoring Frimpong’s situation.
The 24-year-old looks an ideal fit for Arne Slot’s side and it’s hard to imagine a better candidate out there to take on the difficult task of replacing someone like Alexander-Arnold.
Liverpool take advantage of Leverkusen crisis
It’s far from surprising to see a big name like Frimpong leaving Leverkusen when manager Xabi Alonso has also just confirmed he’ll be moving on at the end of this campaign.
This will also surely see other key players leaving the Bundesliga club, with Florian Wirtz looking like another one to watch.
Liverpool have done well to capitalise here, with Frimpong potentially looking like a real bargain after his success in his time in Germany.
