With six Liverpool players currently on loan this season, judging by their current performances, who has a chance to enter the first team next season?
Phillips
He was loaned to Championship Bournemouth in January and immediately became the main centre-back, helping the team to a successful promotion. Born in Bolton's academy, Phillips came to Liverpool in 2016 on loan to Stuttgart, where he made only 24 appearances for the Liverpool first team. Although he has performed well in the past half season, with Liverpool's current central defender configuration, it is difficult for him to be in the first team.
Van den Berg
Preston, who was loaned to the Championship in February last year, has become the team's absolute main centre-back this season. In the summer of 2019, at just 17 years old, Van den Berch joined Liverpool from Zwolle when he was known as the "new Van Dyck". Klopp is also eager for him to take van Dyke's place in the future.
Neko Williams
Liverpool's youth product was loaned to Championship-winning Fulham in January, his first loan. He also performed quite well and Fulham also qualified for next season's Premier League. Thanks to Alexander-Arnold' presence, Williams would have to play as a substitute even if he returned to Liverpool, and Fulham is deliberately buying him out.
Ben Davis
Suffering an injury surge in Liverpool's defence last season, he came to Liverpool as a firefighter during the winter transfer period, but was not officially given a chance to play. This season he was loaned to Sheffield United in the Championship, and Ben Davies used to play in League One, playing in the Championship, and his ability is obviously not able to stand on Liverpool.
Ben Woodburn
A liverpool academy veteran, he made his first-team debut in November 2016 and made nine appearances that season. He started his loan career in the summer of 2018 and was loaned to Hartz in the Soviet Premier League this season. His contract with Liverpool expires this summer and it will be difficult for both sides to renew it.
Ocho
Joining Liverpool at just 14 years old, Klopp gave him a chance to make his first-team debut when he first took over, but soon disappeared, and since then he has been frequently loaned out, and Millwall, who has been on loan in the Championship this season, has little hope of returning to Liverpool.
