Report: Liverpool forward deal confirmed, he's about to make his debut

Liverpool now have less than two weeks to finalise their plans and figure out what their first-team squad is going to look like.

This means that, although there isn't a lot of time left in the window, changes can still be made.

Andoni Iraola still has a couple of problem areas among his ranks and, without figuring out how to plug those gaps, it's unclear how he's going to do any better than Arne Slot did last term.

Obviously, a couple of players have already been brought in to try and solve some of these issues but, it's clear that, if Liverpool want to start competing for silverware again, they're going to have to keep up with their rivals and start making more transfers.

However, without moving some of their current crop on, they won't really have enough room in their squad or money in the bank to sanction new deals.

So, that's why it isn't all that surprising to see some members of Liverpool's squad now being lined up to exit L4.

Kieran Morrison could make his debut for Sheffield Wednesday on Thursday

Kieran Morrison is one of the many youngsters who have been looking for a loan move away from Liverpool this summer.

Iraola gave every single academy graduate an equal chance to prove their worth during pre-season with some such as Trey Nyoni and James McConnell getting lucky enough to be kept around.

Lewis Koumas seems to be another player that the Spaniard wants to regularly use this term which already proves how different things are going to be compared to when Slot was in charge.

The fact that youngster's are going to be trusted to play regular roles for Liverpool means that their academy could easily become one of the best to be in for certain players again.

And, while not all of them will make it, Morrison getting a season of League One experience under his belt will certainly help his case.

So, the latest update from the Star about the Northern Irishman's future makes total sense.

"Though the loan signing of Liverpool starlet Kieran Morrison is yet to have been officially announced, The Star has no reason to believe there have been any issues with his registration, with the intention having been that he will be eligible for a squad place this evening," they wrote.

"Morrison is believed to have trained at Middlewood Road on Wednesday."

Kieran Morrison needs to take this opportunity and prove his worth to Liverpool

Although Iraola doesn't believe that Morrison is ready to make an impact on the first-team squad yet, if he manages to do well in League One, there's nothing stopping him from being able to come back next term and fight for his place.

The midfielder was one of the only youngsters who were given playing time by Slot last term which must mean that he has a bit of something about him as, the Dutchman rarely ever played any of the Reds' academy graduates at all.

Of course, Rio Ngumoha is the exception but, even Nyoni was left out of his plans on multiple occasions.

The Northern Irishman may feel a little disheartened that some of his peers have been kept on but, realistically, for his development, Morrison got the better end of the stick.

He has the chance to play in over 40 league games and, since Sheffield Wednesday will be wanting to push for promotion, his role within their ranks could be very important.

Here's hoping that he meets expectations and proves his worth in South Yorkshire this summer.
