Liverpool academy chief Alex Inglethorpe says Jurgen Klopp is driving their youth success this season.

Inglethorpe admits that Jurgen Klopp's willingness to put his faith in youth has energised players and staff alike.

“First and foremost, it gives everyone at the Academy hope," he told the Liverpool Echo.

“It's one thing talking about it, it's another thing actually doing it. Jurgen and his staff have all bought into the young ones who are coming through.

“They have taken care of them, nurtured them and given them a platform to play. Then it's up to the boys to play their part and show they are credible Liverpool players.

“At the minute they are training hard with the first team. How can you not learn as a young player playing with the likes of Coutinho, Firmino and Henderson every day?"
