Liverpool reserves coach Rodolfo Borrell is pleased with the progress of Jon Flanagan.

Flanagan saw plenty of first team action at Liverpool last season.

Borrell told liverpoolfc.com: "When I came to the club, with Pep Segura and Frank McParland, it is true that almost no-one expected anything interesting in relation to our first-team with Flanagan at that moment in time.

"We tried to give him good advice. He took it on board and worked really hard. He has great determination and passion for the club. He's a winner in all the tackles. With the right focus, he has shown he can be a very good player in the first-team. This is a pleasure for me because the club brought me here to help with these kinds of things as I had done before."
