Who is Ryan One?

Liverpool have been adept at picking up young players from across Britain in recent years, with a focus on bolstering the academy with potential future first-teamers.

The Reds have been keen to shop in Scotland, with Ben Doak and Calvin Ramsay picked up as teenagers from Aberdeen and Celtic.

One is a similarly prodigious young talent, having come through at Hamilton as a 16-year-old. Capable of playing across the front line, One made 36 appearances for Hamilton, scoring four times.

Having made the move to Sheffield in September 2023, One has emerged as first-team player during the Blades push for a Premier League return this season.
