Liverpool U21 coach Barry Lewtas is pleased seeing Jarell Quansah take his chance with the first team.
The young defender has impressed for Jurgen Klopp this season.
Lewtas told liverpoolfc.com: "He has done very well and we are proud of him. We are proud of all the boys in terms of when they play for the first team, whether they move on or whether they go out on loan.
"Obviously, their dream is to play and be a professional footballer, but making your debut and playing for Liverpool is the dream and that's what they all have when they join this club. This season Jarell has fulfilled his dream and made his debut but he has contributed to the squad and done ever so well.
"He's a real humble boy and he will see this as the start of his journey and he will want to get better. Training with those players in the first team as well as the coaching staff, he is working with the best in the world and will only get better. Our paths have crossed in quite a few age groups from right down to when he was 12 so we have been around each other for a while from the U16, U18, U19 and U21 teams.
"Some would say I didn't coach him and that he has survived! I'm really pleased for him and he knows there is a lot of hard work ahead."
