Jayden Danns caught the attention of his Liverpool teammates with his unusual choice of training gear.
While most players bundled up in gloves, jumpers, and snoods after returning from the international break, Danns opted for just a pair of shorts and a T-shirt.
Ibrahima Konate, the French defender, was particularly surprised by Danns’ decision to train in such light clothing. He wasn’t the only one who reacted this way.
“Bro, you’re really going to train like that?” Konate asked, even offering him his gloves. Danns, however, explained his choice with a simple reason: “I overheat! I get too hot in jumpers!” Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch also expressed his amazement, unable to understand how his teammate could tolerate the cold conditions.
Konate, 25, called the young forward “crazy,” likely due to his newfound appreciation for England’s harsh winters since moving from RB Leipzig in 2021.
Danns, the son of former Crystal Palace and Bolton midfielder Neil, hopes his bold approach will catch the eye of manager Arne Slot as he strives to break into Liverpool’s first team.
The talented youngster enjoyed a strong season last year, scoring 19 goals in 25 appearances across various competitions, including five goals in just three FA Youth Cup matches.
He also scored twice in 27 minutes during a senior FA Cup match against Southampton, helping Liverpool reach the quarter-finals before they were eliminated by Manchester United.
Danns has been generating buzz among Liverpool fans, though he has only made five senior appearances so far, including just seven minutes in the Premier League.
With the team’s resources stretched thin, it’s possible that the young forward will be called upon in the near future. It’s clear he’s already making an impression in training—though perhaps not in the way he expected.
