Burnley fullback Jon Flanagan still hopes for a future with parent club Liverpool.

The 24-year-old full-back knows he will have a battle on his hands when he returns for pre-season training with the Reds following a season-long loan at Burnley.

“I've got a job to do for Burnley until the end of the season but after that I want to go back and prove what I'm all about at Liverpool," Flanagan told the Liverpool Echo.

“One of my greatest strengths is my self-belief. What I've done in the past is change people's opinions of me and force my way into a very good Liverpool team.

“I've shown that I can perform at the highest level. I am more than confident of doing the same again. I still feel like I've got a lot to offer. I am really excited and looking forward to the challenge."
