Bobby Adekanye's display against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield last Friday was further proof of the teenager's continuing development, Liverpool U23s boss Neil Critchley believes.
The Netherlands youth international has endured injury problems since arriving at Anfield from Barcelona in the summer of 2015.
However, Critchley thinks the 19-year-old is feeling the benefits of working hard to get back to full fitness and adapting his game to the Reds.
Liverpool U23s are out to get their first win of the season following back-to-back draws on Friday evening when they face Manchester City at Etihad Stadium - a Premier League 2 game you can watch live on LFCTV and LFCTV GO (7pm BST kick-off).
