Cannonier shot to prominence in May 2019 when, while still in the younger age groups at the Academy, he was employed as a ball boy for the Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona

It was the youngster who threw the ball to Trent Alexander-Arnold for the defender’s quickly-taken corner that was converted by Divock Origi to complete a remarkable comeback to win 4-3 on aggregate having lost the first leg 3-0.
