Luis Longstaff has expressed his delight after signing a new contract to keep him at Liverpool until 2022.

Longstaff is one of several youth team players to have broken into the first team under Jurgen Klopp this season.

The 19-year-old made his senior debut in the Carabao Cup quarter-final loss to Aston Villa in December.

He has become a regular for the under-23s since making the step up this campaign.

The teenager, who can play on both flanks, featured prominently in the UEFA Youth League and scored twice in the 7-0 home win over Napoli.

He is one of a few Academy players Klopp has occasionally promoted to train with the senior squad.

And with the first team moving to join the youngsters in being based in Kirkby, Longstaff is looking forward to more opportunities to impress the Reds boss.

"That's going to be brilliant," he told Liverpool's website. "Melwood is such a great and historic place. Now every day they will be in the same building and being in and around them will be a great thing.

"Hopefully the amount of chances you get to train together might go up a bit with us all being together. I'm looking forward to that and if the chance does come up then you just have to take it.

"Being around them is going to be great, just to learn how they conduct themselves will be good as well."
