Only nine current Liverpool players made their debut for the club before 2020, with the squad undergoing a significant overhaul over the years.
There was a lot of change midway through 2024, with Arne Slot the new face within an otherwise settled Liverpool squad.
The current group is made up of 24 regular senior players that vary in age from 33 to 21.
Liverpool’s longest-serving player made their debut in 2015 and is only one of three who do not have Jurgen Klopp to credit for handing them their first Reds appearance.
We will start by looking back on the debuts of our longest-serving players and work our way towards the most recent debutant, it is quite the journey.
