Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp had no doubts regarding the ability of Conor Bradley.

The right-back is making a name for himself in a short space of time with the Reds.

Bradley managed to get two assists in his team's impressive 4-1 win over Chelsea in the Premier League.

Post-game, Klopp told reporters: “Yeah, I know it for a while [how good he is] because in the left ear is Pep Lijnders and in the right ear is Vitor Matos. I remember Pep sat in my office and said, 'I'd put both hands in fire for him!' I loved him from the first day, I didn't need a lot of convincing.

“The thing is, Conor showed up extremely good in pre-season, did extremely well at Bolton [on loan]. Comes back, looks top in pre-season, wow, and then is out for five months [or] four months, [with] like these kind of issues that only young people have, but thank God then time can sort it. At our age it would not get better but in that age group it gets better.

“Since he is back, it is a joy to watch him. It is all credit to the Academy because, how I said, Conor, Jarell, James, Bobby [Clark] and the others we don't have to mention... it's top. Kaide Gordon coming back after a long, long injury, even longer.

“Stefan Bajcetic still out, these kind of things. It is not cool but we were counting with Stefan before the season because we know how good he is. Then he cannot play and that's obviously not helpful. The Academy is doing an incredible job."
