Trey Nyoni has named former Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcántara as his main role model, saying he watches him as he develops his own game.
Speaking after his first Champions League start for Liverpool in midweek, the 19-year-old told the Daily Mail: “For me, I always watch players like Thiago. For me, Thiago, yeah, he is the guy!”
Nyoni and Thiago never played together at the club. The teenager made his senior debut in an FA Cup win over Southampton on 28 February 2024, just weeks after the Spaniard’s final appearance in a Premier League defeat at Arsenal as injuries ended his season and his playing career.
Thiago spent four years at Anfield before retiring, having won 11 domestic league titles and two Champions League trophies.
