Since taking over at Anfield in the off-season, Brendan Rodgers has brought the likes of Raheem Sterling, Andre Wisdom and Adam Morgan into the first-team picture, with Sterling also going on to play for the Three Lions.

"I've got to say, when I went to Liverpool, I was impressed with the academy and some of the players that we had there," revealed the former Reds boss.

"Players like Wisdom, Sterling and Kelly played a lot of games when I was coaching there.

"So, I was aware of all these players and it's very nice to see them coming through and doing so well.

"Sterling has stepped up from being a talented, potential first-team player, to being a very obvious first-team player."
