Liverpool have taken 17 year old Joaquín Fernández on a 10-day trial from La Liga side Almeria, Scott Taylor provides the lowdown on the Spaniard.

The aspect that will intrigue most Liverpool fans is that he plays in a defensive midfield position, a position that the club has expressed the desire to strengthen and the addition of Joaquín will strengthen the squad in years to come, that’s if the Reds decide to sign him permanently.

The midfielder currently plays for Almeria B, but is currently suspended for the Spanish side, so Liverpool saw his suspension as a blessing in disguise and gave him a trial now, as he will inevitably miss his side’s next game against Albacete.

Joaquín was always due to have a trial with Liverpool as it was part of a clause that saw Under 21 winger Suso go in the other direction and join Almeria on loan for the duration of the 2013/14 season, but the club and Joaquín has decided that this period of time will be the best time to come to Melwood. This is because he will be able to keep his fitness up and more discreetly he will be able to train in very cold weather conditions, something that is rare in his home nation which may help him develop physically.

Joaquín is currently training with the Under 18s at the academy in Kirkby, but will be under the watchful eye of first team manager Brendan Rodgers, as him and Under 18 manager Neil Critchley will together make a decision on whether to permanently sign the promising youngster or whether it is in the best wishes of the club not to sign him.

Having Spanish academy players Sergi Canos and Pedro Chirivella training with him will help him settle in better, as he has played alongside them for both Spain at Under 16s and Under 17s level.

He has also trained with Suso at Almeria which was also good experience for him before coming to his trial at Liverpool. Although the Reds are interested in Joaquín, Almeria will continue to plan their future with him due to him attending training sessions with the first team.

Brendan Rodgers believes Luis Suarez has the potential to become one of Liverpool's all-time greats.

And the Anfield boss is adamant the striker's current form vindicates his decision to stay with the club when targeted by a number of teams from at home and abroad during the summer.

Arsenal, Real Madrid and Barcelona were all said to be chasing the Uruguay striker, who sat our the first six games of the season after his 10-match ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic stretched over into the new campaign.

But after his four-goal haul against Norwich, which took his total for the season to 13, Rodgers insists Suarez is loving life at Liverpool and, should he stay, will write his name into the club's folklore.

Speaking on Sky Sports News, he said: "He has the potential to be one of the club's greatest ever players and his decision to stay at the club after a summer of unrest has been vindicated.

"This club has been blessed with many No.7s, like Kenny Dalglish the greatest player Liverpool has ever had, and many others who have been brilliant.

"But I think if Luis Suarez stays here for his career then he is certainly going to challenge them.

"Luis is extremely happy here at Liverpool. We don't want to bring everything up from the past - it was a difficult summer for everyone - but we stood firm as a club and he understood where we were at.

"He knew what our plans were, what our thinking was and that was to keep our best players at the club.

"So hopefully he will feel vindicated for staying and wanting to be here. I think this is the perfect club for him. The whole profile of Liverpool suits him down to the ground.

"Hopefully, over the coming years he can achieve everything he wants to achieve, and that is playing at the highest level. His talent deserves that, this is a club that deserves that and with players like Luis here that will give us a better chance.

"He is loving life here at the moment, you can see that in his game, and as I said he is up there with the top players in the world at the moment."
