Takumi Minamino is 'not the end product' and 'can only become better', says Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders as he insists the Japan forward DOES have an Anfield future

Liverpool assistant coach Pep Lijnders has said that Takumi Minamino still has a future at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp's right-hand man has claimed he is 'enthusiastic' about the Japan international and insists he is 'not the end product'.

The 26-year-old made the move to Merseyside in January 2020 from RB Salzburg and swiftly became a Premier League title winner.
