Leeds United youngster Charlie Allen sends message to Conor Bradley after Liverpool contract news
Leeds United youngster Charlie Allen has sent a two-word message to Conor Bradley after he signed a new contract at Liverpool.
The latter made his first appearance of the season in his club’s Europa League clash with LASK on Thursday (30 November).
The 20-year-old defender was handed eight minutes by Jurgen Klopp from the bench, with the Reds winning the match 4-0.
Bradley has now signed a new contract at Anfield, and took to Instagram on Friday (2 December) to share the news, writing: “Delighted to have signed a new contract with Liverpool.”
Among those commenting was Leeds man Allen, who like Bradley is from Northern Ireland. He wrote: “Congrats bro.”
Bright futures
Both Allen and Bradley certainly have bright futures for club and country, with Bradley now on the Liverpool first team scene after recovering from a back injury, and having spent last season on loan at Bolton.
Allen meanwhile has made five Premier League 2 appearances for the Whites this season, with the 20-year-old scoring one goal so far. He will be very keen to impress Whites boss Daniel Farke, but a senior Leeds debut may not come for a while yet.
The midfielder is, however, a regular for Northern Ireland Under-21s, while his compatriot Bradley is already in the first team at international level.
He has already done enough to impress manager Michael O’Neill, with plans to do the same under Klopp in the coming months.
Both should go on to become important Northern Ireland internationals, with the country desperately needing talented players amid their current poor run of form.
In other Leeds United news, a fresh stance on one Whites loanee has emerged as West Ham, Crystal Palace and Fulham eye the player.
