Ben Doak Impresses at Middlesbrough on Loan

Liverpool's 19-year-old winger Ben Doak is thriving during his loan spell at Middlesbrough in the Championship, showcasing impressive performances that have attracted interest from Premier League clubs. After a strong display against Croatia, where he demonstrated both skill and work ethic, Doak is now considered a key player for Scotland's national team. Liverpool had initially made him available for loan, but they are reportedly inclined to keep him at Middlesbrough due to his ongoing development. His past injuries and the coaching change at Liverpool under Arne Slot have influenced the club's decision-making regarding Doak's future. Additionally, Liverpool is looking at other young talents, including 18-year-old midfielder Lennon Miller from Motherwell, as they continue to strengthen their squad with promising prospects. The club is hopeful that Doak's success could lead him to eventually fill a significant role in the first team, potentially even as a successor to Mohamed Salah.
