Dominic Solanke insists he's happy at Liverpool - and playing for Klopp

Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke insists he's happy at Anfield.

This season, he is yet to play any senior minutes for Liverpool and the only time he has made the matchday squad was for the Carabao Cup tie against his old club Chelsea in September.

"Jurgen is a great manager and he knows what he is doing, especially when he is bringing people through," said Solanke, who will get some much needed minutes under his belt on Tuesday when England's Under-21s play Denmark in Esbjerg.

"You can see what he has done with Trent (Alexander-Arnold) and Joe (Gomez) at the moment and how far they have gone. They have been two vital players for us this season. I have known them for a few years now so I have seen them breakthrough and he definitely helped them.

"All the team are good (providing support and advice), really. Everyone has helped me. From the moment I got to Liverpool, they all made me feel welcome and I settled in quite quickly. Whenever they see someone they can give a hand to, they always will.

"It is always nice when you come away and get minutes, especially for your country. Of course, everyone wants to play for their clubs and when you have been away, you have got to go back and fight. But these little breaks are always good, especially if you are getting minutes."
