Trey Nyoni: I worked hard this summer to give myself the best chance to impress in friendlies

Liverpool's rising star, Trey Nyoni, has revealed his dedicated efforts during the summer break to refine his game and boost his chances of breaking into the first team. The 19-year-old midfielder featured in all three of the Reds' pre-season matches in the USA under new manager Andoni Iraola.

"Even before pre-season began, I knew which aspects of my game I needed to focus on. I worked incredibly hard over the summer to give myself the best possible opportunity to impress in the friendlies. Of course, it's an ongoing process, and my development continues," Nyoni told the club's official website.

During their US tour, Liverpool secured victories against Sunderland and Wrexham, but squandered a two-goal lead to lose 4-2 to Leeds.

"We performed well in the first match and won, but we were aware there were areas for improvement. In the second friendly, our play was significantly better. We're still in the process of adapting to the new system, so we'll continue to progress. There are also new lads in the squad, and our cohesion is growing stronger. I believe we had a productive camp," the young footballer added.
