Adam Lewis made his Liverpool first-team debut this week.
The former Tottenham Hotspur striker played with Gerrard at Liverpool, and now works as a pundit for BBC Sport and BT Sport.
The former England international has said that Liverpool legend Gerrard, who was appointed the Rangers manager in the summer of 2018, thinks highly of 20-year-old Lewis.
Gerrard was the Liverpool Under-18 manager before he was appointed in his current role at Rangers.
Crouch made the comment about Lewis while reflecting on Liverpool’s win against Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup this week.
Crouch wrote in The Daily Mail: “Jones showed real leadership qualities. Williams was terrific once again and could end up being Trent Alexander-Arnold’s understudy.
“There were others, too, such as the young left back Adam Lewis, who I know Steven Gerrard rates highly.”
Promising talent
Lewis made his senior debut for Liverpool against Shrewsbury at Anfield on Tuesday evening.
The 20-year-old is a very talented and promising young player who can also operate in midfield.
The left-back played well against Shrewsbury, and he will hope to get more chances in the coming months and years.
