According to Liverpool's official website, Nyoni is confident that manager Iraola's philosophy of attacking football and high-intensity pressing is perfectly suited to him, and that many experienced midfielders in the centre can provide him with considerable support.

The 19-year-old has made four appearances under Iraola this season, most recently coming off the bench to help Liverpool secure a 1-0 away victory against Bournemouth.

As Iraola continues to leave his mark on Liverpool, Nyoni feels his playing style aligns perfectly with the Basque coach's approach.

"I would say that because his philosophy is to play forward," Nyoni said in the official match programme. "Once you get the ball, you play it forward immediately.

"I think it's also about high pressing, very intense pressing. He places great emphasis on pressing, and I believe the best way to attack is to start from the press—that's very important.

"Everything without the ball matters, so yes, I would say it suits me very well."

Nyoni continued: "I've been playing as a defensive midfielder recently, so I think that's probably the position where he's most often seen me play.

"I'm still open to learning how to play as an attacking midfielder or in other positions, but for now I would say my main role is as a defensive midfielder."

Nyoni joined Liverpool from Leicester City in September 2023, making his senior debut six months later at age 16.

To date, he has made 24 appearances for Liverpool across all official competitions. Despite intense competition in midfield, he hopes to continue improving his performances for the remainder of the 2024-25 season.

The England U20 international said: "I've developed a lot. I've trained with the first team and had some sporadic appearances, which have been invaluable. Now it's time to build on that and see where I can break into the squad.

"Of course, playing time is crucial, but it needs to come at the right moment. I know it won't be easy because there are many experienced midfielders, and they're all excellent players, but they can also help me a great deal.

"So I understand that, and I'm just trying to make sure I'm ready to play whenever I'm needed."
