Lewis Koumas admits taking part in senior Liverpool preseason training is a surreal experience.

The teenage striker is part of the squad training in Germany this week.

"To come and learn from some of the best players in the world is a good opportunity to be in and around Champions League winners," Koumas told Liverpoolfc.com. "I feel for me, I've got to come here and show the manager what I can do. And if I do get the opportunity to make my debut, obviously, then it's to try to score a goal.

"Honestly being here it literally feels like I'm behind a screen," he continued. "Seeing players I look up to – for example, Luis Diaz, I remember watching him at Anfield last season and now I'm behind him. It just feels crazy, to be honest.

"I got called in with the 21s a week before I was meant to be in, so I was on my holidays. I trained with the first team a couple of times in the week and then the night before I got called up to say I was going.

"When I got told it was just pure excitement, but as it built closer the nerves started to kick in. There's no hiding place, I think. If you lose the ball or make a couple of bad decisions, they will tell you – but I'm doing well."
