Liverpool’s Jayden Danns Wins Emirates FA Cup ‘Baller of the Round’ Award
Liverpool‘s young striker, Jayden Danns, has clinched the prestigious Emirates FA Cup ‘Baller of the Round‘ award for his outstanding performance in the fifth round against Southampton at Anfield.
The 18-year-old Danns showcased his talent by scoring twice in a remarkable 3-0 victory, earning well-deserved recognition from Rising Ballers as the standout young player of the round.
Having recently inked a new long-term contract with Liverpool, Danns expressed his elation at the accolade, stating, ‘Honestly, it’s unreal. Probably a month ago I wouldn’t be thinking I’d even step on Anfield so to get [the award] is a good feeling.’
Before his stellar display against Southampton, Danns had also played a crucial role in Liverpool’s Carabao Cup final triumph at Wembley, making his journey from the academy ranks to the senior squad a dream come true.
Reflecting on his journey at Liverpool, Danns shared, ‘Honestly, it’s like a blur. I think it was U7s that I came [to the club], so to go through the whole journey and see the players who have come up with me, there’s been [Lewis] Koumas who has been sat on the bench with me and he’s been here since he was 10 or something like that.’
The Liverpool faithful continue to marvel at Danns’ rise, eagerly anticipating more standout performances from the young star.
