Jurgen Klopp Hints at First-Team Role for Sepp van den Berg But Insists He Must Earn Opportunities

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has suggested that 17-year-old Sepp van den Berg could be involved with the Reds' first team next season, but added that he still has plenty of time to grow into a star.

The youngster, who recently completed a move from PEC Zwolle, is currently awaiting his debut after he was forced to miss out on Liverpool's 6-0 win over Tranmere Rovers, with FIFA yet to officially confirm his move to Anfield.

However, speaking to the press (via the club's official website), after the game, Klopp insisted that this is simply a minor obstacle and Van den Berg could still play a part next season.
