Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he's happy they kept hold of Jarell Quansah this season.
The defender is set to start against Toulouse in the Europa League on Thursday.
Klopp said, "If you would have asked me in pre-season that he would have been that good I would have been surprised, but since then I have seen him every day and I am not surprised about it anymore because I know from the first day of pre-season how good a player he will be.
"So, yes, great to have a boy from our own Academy with that quality, with that potential, we will see where it will end up, but it's really promising.
"He's doing extremely well so far, it's really cool as well, he's good on the ball, aggressive in the challenges, has everything you need and a lot of space for improvement and development.
"That's the best possible news for Liverpool. I am really happy he is here. There were obviously talks could he go on loan, he was on loan last year, can he go on loan again; we said no, so that was obviously a very good decision."
