Oakley Cannonier Confirms Liverpool Exit at Season’s End

The 21-year-old says two injury-free years brought no game time.

Overview

  • Cannonier says he will leave when his contract expires this summer to find regular senior football.
  • He has not played a competitive match since January 2025 despite stating he has been fit since 2024.
  • Liverpool coaches have preferred younger forwards, including Jayden Danns and summer signing Will Wright from Salford.
  • A trial and proposed move to Leeds last year collapsed, and he did not secure a loan elsewhere.
  • His 28-goal U18 season in 2021/22 was followed by hamstring setbacks and limited appearances, and any club offering him a new deal may need to agree compensation with Liverpool.
