Liverpool‘s young defender, Luke Chambers, has just signed a new contract with the Reds and he had been at the club since the age of six.
Luke Chambers has been on loan with the Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock, since January. The 18-year-old was sent on loan to Kilmarnock FC in Scotland in January. The Scottish team has been struggling in the Scottish Premiership and where the LFC youngster has made 11 appearances so far.
Moreover, he has been a part of Klopp’s team in the pre-season tour and has been named in the matchday squad twice.
The teenager was a part of Ian Foster’s England U19s squad that scored European Championships glory last summer.
Luke Chambers extends his Liverpool contract
The defender extended his contract with the Reds while he was being monitored by Watford. The Hornets were keeping tabs on the full-back’s progress with the Scottish side.
During his time in Scotland, he has received praise from the club’s manager, Derek McInnes.
“It was a great debut for Luke Chambers.
He played a part in the goal, he picked out the pass, he was quality in possession. He was making his senior debut at 18, there was a lot of nerves, but the level of performance was very mature.
36 years ago I made my first senior debut and I certainly didn’t play as good as him! He was outstanding. He looks about 13 but he plays like a 30-year-old.
He’s so mature, he’s so calm with his defending, his decision making on the ball was very good, his choice of passes, his choice of crosses, none more so than for Danny’s goal and he’s fitted in brilliantly.”
Moreover, his loan spell at Rugby Park is set to expire at the end of the season. But the full-back’s focus is on keeping the Scottish side out of the danger zone.
Kilmarnock sits above Ross County, who sit at the foot of the table. Also, they remain threatened with relegation from the top flight in Scotland sitting in the relegation qualification position on goal difference with Dundee United.
