“I used to go to the park with my dad and practice long passes, trying to emulate what Hubby did. But Liverpool decided I should stay.
“I didn’t get as much playing time as I would have liked, but it’s been an incredible season for the club,” the 23-year-old told Reds France.

The Englishman eventually moved to Olympique Lyonnais for €15 million – he has made 14 Ligue 1 appearances, contributing one goal and one assist.
