Along with Daniel Pacheco and Krisztian Nemeth, Finnish teen Lauri Dalla Valle is one of Liverpool's most exciting prospects.
Liverpool have done pretty well so far when it comes to Finnish players - Sami Hyypia and Jari Litmanen were fantastic for the club, and if Dalla Valle displays even half of the quality and professionalism of those two, we'll have a very special player on our hands.
In his first season at Anfield, Dalla Valli scored 20 goals in 28 games for the under 18s. Pretty impressive I'm sure you'll agree! Hopefully, he'll get some chances in the first team at some point.
