Marko Grujic enjoying first weeks at Liverpool

Marko Grujic has enjoyed his first weeks at Liverpool.

The 20-year-old agreed to join the Premier League giants from Red Star Belgrade in December but was loaned back to his hometown club for the rest of the season.

"When I started playing football at the age of seven, I always wanted to play in front of big crowds," he told the Liverpool Echo.

"Every goal means a lot to me, especially now I have joined this massive club. I think the celebration showed how much I want to do well for Liverpool.

"This is my dream and I want to take every opportunity that I get to show what I can do."

Asked about his initial impressions of Jurgen Klopp, he said: "It's been a big pleasure for me.

"Jurgen is a great coach and I'm learning all the time.

"Zeljko (Buvac, assistant manager) has also helped me. He speaks the same language as me so that makes it easy to talk with him.

"All the staff have been very good to me."
