‘He’s still 17, it’s just crazy!’ – Liverpool boss Klopp expecting big things from ‘sensational’ Hoever

The teenage defender burst onto the senior stage in the 2018-19 campaign and is being tipped to take his game to even greater heights this term

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has given teenage defender Ki-Jana Hoever a big billing ahead of the 2019-20 campaign, with the Dutch starlet considered to be “sensational”.

The 17-year-old made a step up onto the senior stage with the Reds last term, making his competitive debut during an FA Cup clash with Wolves.

He did not look fazed by the challenge put in front of him and remains one of the most highly-regarded academy graduates at Anfield.
