'You don't know them yet': Klopp backs 4 more youngsters to break into first team

Jarell Quansah, Conor Bradley and now James McConnell have broken into Liverpool's first team this season. Last season, Stefan Bajcetic impressed everyone with his mature displays, as the Spaniard came close to benching Fabinho. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones are the Reds' academy graduates as well.

Jurgen Klopp has singled out four players who have a chance of featuring more this season.

Yeah, and you don’t know a few [emerging players] yet," the boss said after the Norwich game. "So, maybe you know them but they were not with us yet on the pitch and stuff like this, but there is a lot to come still.

"Today Bobby Clark didn’t come on and I think he did particularly well in the last few games. Trey [Nyoni] and Dannsy [Jayden Danns] especially as well from the U18s, [Lewis] Koumas… there is a lot of really good players coming up still so yeah, the Academy is in a good moment, I would say, producing-wise. It’s wonderful.

"[It] is not about me giving them opportunities, it is about them knocking on the door [so] that I can’t ignore it, actually, and that is what they did."
