Sir Kenny Dalglish sends warning over teenage talent Liverpool are 'really enjoying'

The 17-year-old, who made the move to Anfield from Scottish Premierships giants Celtic for £600,000 last summer, has been a revelation for both the Reds' U21s and U18s side this season, with such eye-catching performances earning him a swift promotion to Jurgen Klopp's senior side during the autumn.

Likewise, his trajectory on the international stage has not been too dissimilar from his one on Merseyside as he has been rewarded for his stellar form with a promotion from Brian McLaughlin's U17s side straight through to Scot Gemmill's U21s.
