John Arne Riise names Liverpool youngster who 'reminds me of Steve Finnan'DAZN
The young Liverpool full-back has impressed this season.

Former Liverpool defender John Arne Riise says young full-back Conor Bradley "reminds me of Steve Finnan a little bit".

The 20-year-old right-back made his Premier League debut for Liverpool in January 2024 against Bournemouth - where he got an assist for Diogo Jota's second goal.

Later that month, Bradley scored and added another two assists in a man of the match performance against Chelsea.

The Northern Ireland international has seen less game time since the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold, but Riise sees a big future for Bradley.

Speaking to BoyleSports about Premier League Odds, Riise said: "Conor Bradley is up there for young player of the season, he has surprised everyone.

"He reminds me of Steve Finnan a little bit, but I think Bradley is better going forward.

"He's more of an attacking threat than Finnan was. Finnan was Mr Dependent, he was always so calm and composed.

"All full-backs need to be up and down, creating chances and scoring goals. I'm sure Bradley could do that if he was told to do that.

"He has rarely made mistakes, you can trust him and he can handle any opponent. He would be a huge signing for any club now."
