Liverpool starlet Jack Dunn has insisted that he is very eager to play under new Reds manager Jurgen Klopp.
The 20-year-old, who enjoyed loan spells at Cheltenham Town and Burton Albion last season, has been struggling with a hamstring injury this term.
The injury forced the forward to remain on the sidelines in the present campaign.
However, Dunn returned to action as a substitute during Friday’s behind-closed-doors friendly with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Melwood.
And the youngster, who heaped praise on new Liverpool boss Klopp, believes the German will provide opportunities for the youngsters to showcase their talents.

“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”, he told the club’s official site.
“Since the manager has come in there has been a lot of positivity around the club. There is a new opportunity for the younger lads and it has given everyone a massive boost."
Dunn, who is yet to play a senior competitive game for Liverpool, further underlined the importance of the behind-closed-doors friendlies which are often arranged over international breaks.
“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”, he added.
“Wolves put out a really strong side and it was a tough test for our lads and it was a tough game. It was a difficult game with the conditions – strong winds and rain – but we did well.”
Dunn, who has represented England from Under-17 to Under-19 level, has thus far made just a single senior appearance for Liverpool in a friendly with Shamrock Rovers in 2014.
The young forward managed to find the back of the net in that game.
