Liverpool under 23's boss Neil Critchley has revealed that Joe Gomez is hungry to grow as a player.
The 20-year-old made his debut for England during their friendly international against Brazil last week and impressed as he went on to win the man of the match award.
"We're here to facilitate the first team and the first-team players that maybe need game-time or are coming back from injury," said current Liverpool Under-23 manager Neil Critchley.
"I think Joe was in that bracket last season. Speaking to all the staff and seeing him from afar on the other side of the pitch everyone was really impressed with him as a boy just as much they were as a player.
"I think you can see that when he's doing these interviews after the Brazil game and he's such a level-headed young man. He wants to improve. He's got that hunger to get better.
"It was a fantastic performance from him. I think we've played a really tiny part in that. It's all down to Joe and himself in his own development.
"He's very mature for his age mentally it seems. He's ticks a lot of boxes, doesn't he? You've just got to look at his all-round game.
"Probably the one thing that he hasn't got is experience but if he keeps performing like he does on Tuesday night then the experience will come very quickly because he'll be playing for Liverpool and England.
"I think Joe now has gone well past us (the under-23s), hasn't he? His ambitions and aspirations will be getting into our first team, staying in our first team and possibly now going to the World Cup - and rightly so."
