Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hopes that he can help nurture youngster Curtis Jones in the coming years.
The 19-year-old was outstanding as the Reds ran away 7-2 winners in the Carabao Cup against Lincoln City on Thursday.
He scored two goals and set up a meeting with Arsenal in the next round.
"I think each game is ideal for Curtis to play in because of the quality he has, the skills he has," Klopp told a media conference.
"First half, really good. Start of the second half, really good. And then there is still space for improvement, obviously.
"Both goals were difficult. I think the second goal, the first touch was absolutely exceptional. It was slightly deflected, but that's just exceptional.
"I think everybody knows my opinion about Curtis. He is an exceptional talent and we will have some fun with him, I'm pretty sure, in the future."
