Melkamu Frauendorf is being backed for big things at Liverpool.

The attacker joined in 2020 from Hoffenheim at 16 years of age.

Danny Galm, who was Frauendorf's coach for two years while he played at youth level for Hoffenheim, told the Liverpool Echo: "Mel is a very flexible player. He is straightforward with a good technique and very, very good endurance. He didn't score the most goals, but he was involved in almost all offensive actions.

"For me, he was a very important player, who often initiated decisive moments with his dynamic and straight dribbling.

"I'm not a fan of comparing players to others but Mel is a special player. He is fast and has good endurance, and he wants to learn, but remains creative.

"He will develop physically in the next months and will grow [in responsibility] in Liverpool. I will follow his development and I hope he will soon experience the spirit of Anfield."
