Jurgen Klopp says Curtis Jones is "an exceptional talent" and that Liverpool " will have some fun" with the teenage midfielder as he develops his all-round game in the coming years.
The 19-year-old produced a star turn during Liverpool's 7-2 EFL Cup third-round win over Lincoln City on Thursday, scoring twice as the Premier League champions set up a fourth-round clash with Arsenal next week.
It was only Jones' 16th appearance for Liverpool's first team but Klopp suggested the midfielder can expect to feature more regularly if he continues to perform at such a high level.
