I can't wait to play for him: Striker sends message to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp

Under-21 regular Jack Dunn is yet to play for the Liverpool first-team

LIVERPOOL youngster Jack Dunn says he can't wait to play for manager Jurgen Klopp.

 

The striker, who turns 21 this week, is yet to feature for the first team but is certain his time will come.

Klopp has already outlined his intentions to bleed the young payers at the club and give them opportunities to prove themselves.

And Dunn hailed his impact on the youth set-up since the German replaced the sacked Brendan Rodgers at Anfield last month.

 

“Since the manager has come in there has been a lot of positivity around the club,” Dunn told Liverpoolfc.com.

“There is a new opportunity for the younger lads and it has given everyone a massive boost.

“He seems terrific. He is very interactive with the young lads and he is trying to get to know all of us. I can’t wait to work with him.

“With these games behind closed doors, some players might turn their heads and think nothing of it, but for us these are the opportunities that you have got to take and shine through.

Dunn has had to watch on as a number of his teammates form the under-21 side were handed first-team debuts.

A string of injuries over the last year has curtailed his own progress but he is now fully fit and eager to impress.

“I’m absolutely over the moon to be back and hopefully I can put these injury problems behind me, get a good string of games and stay fit until the end of the season," he added.

"I’m working hard with the physios and I have got to manage my body well. The main thing for me is to work hard in training and do well in the games.”
