Jayden Danns raised eyebrows among his Liverpool team-mates with his choice of training attire. While others bundled up in gloves, jumpers, and snoods, after getting back to work after the international break, Danns opted for a simple pair of shorts and a T-shirt combination.

French defender Ibrahima Konate was particularly taken aback by the youngster's decision to brave the elements so lightly dressed. And he wasn't the only member of the dressing room taken aback.

"Bro, don't tell me you will train like that," said the centre-back, even offering Danns his gloves. But the young prospect had a straightforward explanation for exactly why he wasn't layering up like the rest of the squad.

Danns pleaded his case as he said: "I overheat! I get too hot in jumpers!" Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch also joined in the fascination in disbelief, confused as to how his colleague could cope in the frosty conditions.

Konate, 25, labelled the young forward "crazy," having seemingly come to appreciate England's harsh winter conditions since joining from RB Leipzig in 2021. Danns - the son of former Crystal Palace and Bolton midfielder Neil - is hoping his bold approach to training will impress Arne Slot as he aims to break into the Reds' first team.

The homegrown star scored an impressive 19 goals in 25 appearances across all competitions last season, including five goals in just three FA Youth Cup games. Danns also scored twice in 27 minutes against Southampton in the senior FA Cup, helping his team reach the quarter-finals before they were defeated by Manchester United.

The teenage talent has been making waves among Reds fans for some time. However, he's been restricted to just five senior appearances thus far, including just seven minutes of Premier League football.

With resources at Anfield becoming increasingly stretched, there's a strong possibility the rising talent could be called upon in the coming months. It's clear he's already making his mark in training - albeit not in the way he might have expected.
