Neco Williams has earned praise from Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Williams, 19, has been learning behind Alexander-Arnold after breaking into the first-team squad this season, making six appearances including his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace last Wednesday.
And Alexander-Arnold says the hard-working Wales U19 international deserves to play in the Premier League.
Asked if he sees his own traits in Williams, the England international told the club's website: "Just an eagerness to learn and improve every single day.
"You can see him improving and picking up little things every day - likewise with all the young lads - and I think there's no better place for young players to be than at Liverpool, to be given the chances like they got [against Palace].
"To be given the opportunity to train with world-class players is only going to make you better and prepare you for days like this so I was over the moon with the way he's performed and likewise with Harvey [Elliott] when he came on.
"They've shown the quality and shown that when the gaffer is ready then they will be given the chance - and they deserve the chance as well."
