Remember Nathan Eccleston? The former Liverpool prodigy is in talks with Hungarian club

Fallen Red

Tom Victor

There was a time when Nathan Eccleston was seen as the future of Liverpool FC.

The striker made his Premier League debut aged just 18 and turned out for the club in Europa League games under Roy Hodgson.

Now 25 years old, the talented forward has seen his stock fall and is now hoping to land a surprise move to the Hungarian top flight, according to reports in the country.

If Eccleston does land a contract with Békéscsaba, who are currently four points adrift at the bottom of the league, he would join another former prodigy.

Ezequiel Calvente, once a Spain Under-21 sensation, joined the club in the summer. He is still best-known for one of the most inventive penalties of all time.
