Teenage midfielder Luis Longstaff was promoted to first team training at Liverpool this week.

The Liverpool Echo says Longstaff was pictured with the seniors on Tuesday afternoon as they stepped up preparations for this weekend's trip to West Bromwich Albion.

Some achievement, given he only turned 16 back in February and that he started the season with the Reds' U15 side.

Longstaff joined Liverpool from Newcastle at the age of 13, and is one of a clutch of talented U18s emerging now up at Kirkby.
