Celtic loanee Phillips says 'people should be excited' about Liverpool teammate Doak

Celtic loanee Nat Phillips has sung the praises of Liverpool teammate Ben Doak.

Doak originally came through the system at Celtic before leaving for Liverpool two years ago.

"From what I've seen from Doaky, plenty of people have plenty of reason to be excited," said Phillips.

"He's very confident. Sometimes young boys come up to the first team and play within themselves but that's not been the case with him. He's electric when he's running at players - he's happy to run at anyone. If he continues to progress the way he's doing, he'll do well.

"Fearless is the way I'd describe him, he's got bags of ability, especially in one-v-one situations. The rest is up to Ben and how he applies himself and his game. The basic tools and the foundations are there to become a great player."
