Liverpool attacker Takumi Minamino is delighted with his current form - and believes he can do more.
The Japan international has featured in each of the Reds' last eight matches in all competitions and scored his first goal at Anfield after coming off the bench in the recent 4-0 win over Arsenal.
Following that victory, Jürgen Klopp was fulsome in his praise for Minamino, who has outlined his determination to continue providing the boss with an attacking option throughout the campaign.
“I always keep my motivation high and the manager's comments do not necessarily make it even higher," the No.18 explained toLiverpoolfc.com.
“It is what professional players need to do and I don't do anything special. Even though I play only limited amounts of game time, when I am given a chance I do my best to show my 100 per cent.
“In order to do so, I need to prepare for it. It is what professional players need to do. But, still, I am very glad that there are people who look at me and make good comments about me."
Klopp detailed that he considers Minamino able to fulfil several roles, with the 26-year-old continuing: “Playing closest to the goal is my favourite position, I believe it is one of my roles to score goals.
“But the manager decides where I play, and it is good that he says that I can play in many positions because it is one of my advantages. I would like to play at a higher level in every position."
