Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that 17-year-old winger Ben Doak is once again training with the Liverpool first team. Doak has lived up to the hype since his arrival from Celtic last year, making five appearances for the senior side. And after being asked which youngster’s had caught his eye this campaign during his today, Klopp raved about the jet-heeled teenager.
Nice signs,” said the Liverpool boss.
In fairness to Doak, he’s perhaps good enough to expect the same treatment no matter the trophy Liverpool are competing for. As Jurgen mentions, he’s shown absolutely no fear whenever he’s been thrown in this season.
He’s always been a manager who will trust and play young players if he thinks they’re good enough.
