Jurgen Klopp's exciting verdict on Bolton Wanderers linked Liverpool youngster Conor Bradley

Liverpool and Northern Ireland youngster Conor Bradley has been linked with a transfer window switch to Bolton Wanderers.

Wanderers have made two acquistions so far this summer. Defender Jack Iredale has joined on a free transfer from Cambridge United to bolster the club's defensive options.

And the club followed that up by announcing the return of goalkeeper James Trafford on loan from Manchester City for the whole of the upcoming campaign. It follows a successful spell at the club by the 19-year-old in the second half of last campaign.

More business is being sought by Wanderers to reinforce the squad further, with the new League One season set to commence at the end of July. Ian Evatt has previously spoken of adopting a quality over quantity approach when it comes to bringing in extra bodies this summer.

Reports emerged yesterday suggesting that Wanderers have approached the Anfield club over taking Bradley, who has eight caps for Northern Ireland to his name, on loan for the upcoming season. Our colleagues at the Liverpool Echo reports Jurgen Klopp's side are considering the move.

The right-back has also played five times for Klopp's side across the Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup. All of these appearances came last season.

And speaking in March, Klopp sang the praises of the teenager for his efforts in a Reds shirt. The youngster has appeared as a right-back whenever he has played for the Anfield side in place of first choice in that position Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Klopp said : "He's a top boy. The last few weeks because we had a full squad he was not with us all the time obviously. He went through a spell where he was pretty much with us all sessions but not in the last few weeks.

"I cannot say now exactly how he developed in the last few weeks because he was not here but, from the things I know, good as well. Wonderfully talented boy with a big heart, a real fighter, and it's a joy to have him around. That's what I can say."
