Liverpool youngster Ben Doak has revealed that several of the club’s senior players have been closely following and praising his form during his loan spell away from Anfield. The Scottish winger, currently enjoying an excellent season out on loan, explained that messages from established first‑team stars have boosted his confidence and reinforced his belief that he has a long‑term future at Liverpool.

Doak says that Liverpool’s leaders have been “raving” about his performances, with positive feedback filtering back to him through direct messages and conversations at Kirkby when he has returned to the training ground. He notes that players he looks up to have taken the time to congratulate him on individual displays and specific moments, which he interprets as a sign that his efforts on loan are being taken seriously by the club.

The winger reflects on how moving away from Merseyside has accelerated his development, giving him regular senior minutes, physical challenges, and responsibility in high‑pressure situations. He highlights the importance of learning to play against experienced defenders, adapting his decision‑making in the final third, and adding consistency to his game across a full campaign rather than in occasional cameos.

Doak also stresses that Liverpool’s staff set clear expectations before he left, outlining what they wanted him to improve: end product, off‑the‑ball work, and durability over a long season. The fact that senior teammates are now noticing those improvements convinces him he is on the right track. He reiterates his ambition to return to Anfield ready to compete for a first‑team place under Arne Slot, insisting that he views this loan not as a shop window but as a stepping stone toward a long Liverpool career.
