Liverpool goalkeeper Danny Ward is being urged not to leave Anfield.

The Wales international is third choice at Liverpool behind Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius.

Reds U23 coach Neil Critchley said: "I don't think his development as a goalkeeper is unusual for a young goalkeeper.

“He's still young - you've got to remember that. He's got competition at Melwood, but he'd expect to have that.

“Danny believes in himself and he's a fighter, so I'm sure he'll keep performing and training like he is to give the manager something to think about.

“He's brilliant. He's a big character, Danny - a really good character. I think he's matured so much since I've known him."
