'Really promising' - Jurgen Klopp praises three Liverpool wonderkids, they could be future stars

'Really promising' - Jurgen Klopp praises three Liverpool wonderkids, they could be future stars

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has reserved huge praise for three wonderkids who have been part of the Reds squad in Dubai.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has reserved huge praise for three wonderkids who have been part of the Reds squad during their Dubai training camp.

Liverpool are currently competing in the Dubai Super Cup - a newly-designed tournament which also features Arsenal, AC Milan and Lyon.

The tournament features intriguing rules, with two points for a draw and a mandatory penalty shootout after the match, regardless of the result, which is worth another point.

The Reds get their two-match campaign underway on Sunday with a clash against Lyon, although they will be missing several stars.

Klopp has had to call upon several young players to bolster his squad during the mid-World Cup training camp, with seven Liverpool players featuring in Qatar.

And the German has been impressed by three players in particular.

Klopp praises 'really interesting' Liverpool starlets

Speaking to LFCTV (as per Liverpool Echo), Klopp praised the contributions of Ben Doak, Stefan Bajcetic and Bobby Clark, whilst also recognising the hard work put in by Calvin Ramsay, who has recently returned from injury.

The boss said: "They did incredibly well. Stefan did incredibly well. So many really showed up, to be 100 per cent honest, and others still have to adapt.

"For example, young Calvin had no pre-season with us, now this is his first pre-season. He was long out, very important for him to get to know everybody and all of these things.

"Ben Doak looks really promising, now he's here with us. So all these kind of things are really interesting.

"Bobby Clark, really interesting player, obviously here with us, like the others as well.

"But they showed already, 'Ok, looks good, have them here'. Then all the other boys, have them here. It's important."

Both Bajcetic and Clark trained with the Reds throughout pre-season, and both received praise from Klopp at the time.

Bajcetic made his Premier League debut in August, with the 18-year-old Spain youth international coming off the bench during the 9-0 win over Bournemouth. He has since made four more senior appearances, with three of those coming in the Champions League.

Doak, meanwhile, has starred in the UEFA Youth League, netting four goals in six games. At 16 years of age during the group stages, he was playing alongside players who were mostly two to three years older.

He made his senior debut during last month's Carabao Cup victory over Derby.

Clark, 17, started that game, having made his senior debut alongside Bajcetic in the Bournemouth victory. All three players look to have very promising futures at Anfield.
