Liverpool assistant manager Pep Ljinders says Harvey Elliot is learning from the club's seasoned midfielders.
The 16-year-old was impressive on debut in the Carabao Cup third-round win over MK Dons.
He is set to start against Arsenal tonight in the fourth-round and Ljinders has been impressed with the midfielder's progression.
"We can't forget that he is only 16, of course. We have to be careful with that," he said.
"But how I see him, since I have been working with him, I see a very educated boy. I see a boy who is really passionate for the game.
"If you come here, and you see Milly (James Milner), Hendo (Jordan Henderson), (Adam) Lallana, Gini (Wijnaldum), Virg (Virgil Van Dijk), Bobby (Roberto Firmino) - all examples in different ways.
"Players who never whine. Players who never complain or make excuses. In the hardest moments, they never give up and they never give up our way.
"They always put the team above themselves. For a young player, you could not wish to have a better environment to grow.
"Talent needs models, not criticism. There's not a much more powerful weapon than the examples of senior pros."
