Trey Nyoni has claimed the title of Liverpool’s youngest player to make a European appearance.
The talented midfielder, who joined the Reds from Leicester City in September 2023, made his European debut during Wednesday’s Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven, taking the field at just 17 years and seven months old.
This impressive milestone allows Nyoni to surpass the previous record held by Phil Charnock, who made his debut in August 1992 against Apollon Limassol at the age of 17 years, seven months, and two days.

Nyoni’s debut not only marks a significant moment for him personally but also places him as Liverpool’s fifth-youngest debutant in the club’s history.
Prior to his European outing, Nyoni had already made headlines when he stepped onto the pitch for his senior debut in last season’s Emirates FA Cup match against Southampton, where he played at 16 years, eight months, and eight days.
Here’s a look at Liverpool’s youngest European debutants:
1. Trey Nyoni – 17 years, 7 months
2. Phil Charnock – 17 years, 7 months, 2 days
3. Michael Owen – 17 years, 9 months, 2 days
4. Ben Doak – 17 years, 10 months, 10 days
5. Stefan Bajcetic – 17 years, 10 months, 22 days
With his record-setting performance and promising potential, Nyoni is certainly one to watch as he continues to develop in the world of football.
