Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is excited about the progress of Curtis Jones.

Klopp has predicted a big future for Jones and says the midfielder has a talent that belies his age.

He said: "When we speak about the kids, we forget about Curtis because we don't see him as a kid any more.

"Some people will tell you that in Liverpool people grow up quickly and I don't mean the club, I mean the city. Curtis is 19 — until he enters the pitch."

Klopp has made it clear that Jones, who signed a five-year contract in the summer, still has much to learn before he can be considered fully established at Anfield.

"He has to keep working hard and keep his feet on the ground and that is all great. If he does that, then his future could be pretty bright," said Klopp.
