Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is eager to bring through more young talent.

Klopp handed debuts to Ryan Kent, Kevin Stewart, Danny Ward, Ojo, Connor Randall and Joe Maguire last season. He also gave opportunities to the likes of Cameron Brannagan, Pedro Chirivella and Brad Smith, who has subsequently joined Bournemouth in a £6million deal.

“Last season we had Ojo, Brannagan, Randall, Smith, Stewart and Chirivella who played in real games for the first-team," Klopp told the Liverpool Echo.

“We've had Ben Woodburn, Ovie Ejaria and Trent playing for us in the friendly games. Shamal George has been in a good way too.

“That's eight or nine. What do we want? We want 20 of this quality.

“It's a big number of players. We have to create better situations to make them better.

“The Academy has done well to bring them to this level. I don't know whether we could have done it better but I know that they've done a good job.

“We have to keep working on the things we can make better but that doesn't mean changing people."
