Liverpool U23 attacker Yan Dhanda is delighted with his start to the season.

Dhanda has confessed he suffered homesickness when first arriving four years ago from West Brom.

“To get here and play for Liverpool made me so excited. I couldn't describe how I was feeling, but not going home to my mum, dad and brother is tough," he told liverooolfc.com.

“I just promised my mum I would make her proud and it would all be worth it. People were saying time would make it easier and, to be fair, it did for me. After a few months it got easier and I was flying and scoring goals."

He added: "I want to stay injury-free this year, keep playing well for the U23s and finally if I get the chance, to train at Melwood."
