Spanish whizkid Suso is hoping for a first team chance at Liverpool this new season.

The 18-year-old insists he is now settled at Anfield and has set his sights on battling for a first-team place next season under new manager Brendan Rodgers.

"I hope I get some minutes and a chance to show what I can do," he told liverpoolfc.com. "I am really happy at the club and I want to stay.

"Before I made the choice to move to England, I thought to myself that joining Liverpool was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I felt that if I kept improving throughout my career, I would have the opportunity to play for a big Spanish team but the Liverpool offer might have never come around again.

"Going to play football in another country and learning English was something I wanted to do and I am glad I did; I love England."
