Liverpool teenager Ryan Kent says he took advice from Anfield colleagues before agreeing his four-month loan move to League OneCoventry City.
Reds coach Gary McAllister served both as player and manager of the Sky Blues, while skipper Jordan Henderson made his full league debut after being loaned by Sunderland to Coventry in January 2009.
"There's a few people at Liverpool who have been there previously," said Kent.
"They all told me good things about the club," the 18-year-old told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire, after signing a youth loan deal until 16 January.
"And I'm sure I'll find out a lot more good stuff while I'm here.
"Coventry are a club with a lot of pedigree, with a lot of good player and a good manager and I can't wait to get started. I hope I can bring a lot of flair and energy to the team."
