Liverpool U23 keeper coach Morris happy with Kamil Grabara progress

Liverpool U23 goalkeeper coach Mark Morris says they're pleased with the progress of young Polish goalkeeper Kamil Grabara.

Morris wrote for liverpoolfc.com: "Kamil is a young goalkeeper we brought over from Poland. He has got a very good personality, he is very strong-willed and he has certainly got a presence about him around the penalty area.

"He handles himself very well and physically he is a good size. He suits the English style of football as well, which is one of the things we looked at when we first watched him in action. He does like to dominate his penalty area and come for crosses. When he first came through the door he didn't realise how quick our game over here was but he has worked hard at his game and has adapted well. He is holding his own in the U23s and is doing quite well.

"Many supporters may have noticed Kamil taking part in the warm-up recently at Anfield before our first-team games, with John, Loris and Simon. You can't replace that experience and what he's getting exposed to in warming up in front of a big crowd. Warming up in front of the Kop is very special. Kamil has got the personality to handle that, to be fair. He is very focused on his game, is very determined and loves to work hard on his game. So it's great exposure for him and an ideal opportunity for him to get used to that environment."
