Within the 2024/25 marketing campaign, the younger shotstopper picked up 36 appearances in all competitions, serving to Puskas Academia to a second-place end within the league.
Liverpool considering to the longer term
We strongly suspect that will probably be Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili competing for a berth in Liverpool’s starting-XI in 2025/26.
That mentioned, we are able to nonetheless be excited concerning the seemingly important potential on supply with Pecsi.
We reckon the footballer will most likely be loaned out, both again to the Hungarian top-flight or one other outfit that may supply him as many minutes and encourage his improvement within the recreation.
Having misplaced a prime backup expertise in Kelleher this summer season, it’s a extremely aggressive transfer to double up on the goalkeepers travelling in the wrong way.
Kudos to Richard Hughes and Co. and we hope we’ll be seeing far more of Armin Pecsi within the years to come back.
