 Krisztián Németh of Liverpool |
"He played very well for the reserves last season and scored quite a lot of goals. It is clear that he has the ability to score but he also has good game intelligence"
Rafa Benitez, Liverpool manager
"Nemeth reminds me of King Kenny"
Gary Ablett, Liverpool reserves coach
The Liverpool starlet is yet to make his senior debut for the Reds but already the hopes of a nation can be seen resting on Krisztián Németh's shoulders.

In May 2008, after scoring the crucial goal against Portugal to take Hungary U19s to the European Championships, he was called up to the Hungarian senior squad and was an unused substitute during their 1-1 draw with Croatia.
Németh has nonetheless impressed fans with his technical skill, great movement and natural goalscoring instinct.
He has been tipped for a bright future at the Merseyside club and is expected to make the step up to first-team football as Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez handed him the #29 jersey for the 2008-2009 campaign.
