Diogo Jota is welcoming the extra responsibility at Liverpool following the departure of Sadio Mane.
The Portuguese forward will be given a more prominent role now that Mane, Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino have left Anfield.
Speaking whilst in Bangkok on a preseason tour, Jota told the club's website: "Obviously those [three] departed and only one arrived – well, Fabio [Carvalho] as well but I'm not sure where he is going to play yet.
"Of course, with the years you add extra responsibility. Yesterday in the rondo, I am not in the middle anymore when we start so time is passing as well, I am getting older!
"Of course that allows me to be one of the senior players, with that comes extra responsibility as well but I think that I am ready for that."
