Liverpool’s Marko Grujic scores their first goal
Liverpool summer signing Marko Grujic has told ESPN that his performances in pre-season make him confident that he can do big things with the Reds.
Grujic is one of seven new players to arrive at the club this summer in a complete overhaul of the squad by Klopp.
Indeed, the German manager pushed especially hard to bring him to the club, having personally attended a hearing to ensure the player received a work permit.
His signing is one that has been made with an eye to the future, but he has already impressed in the handful of first-team appearances he has been given so far.

And the Serbian says his manager has told him he must focus on improving.
“He told me I’m a very talented player, and I just need to work to improve myself,” he told ESPN.
“I need to adapt fully to the Premier League. But I’ve seen that I can work nicely with my teammates, even against strong teams like Chelsea for example, and that’s what gives me confidence that I can do big things with Liverpool.”

It now remains to be seen what role Marko Grujic has to play in the Liverpool first team this season.
The centre of midfield is a very competitive one at Anfield at this moment in time as Jurgen Klopp is blessed with a number of options in the position.
However, if he continues to impress as he has then it would not be surprising to see him in the first team before too long.
