Im listening to everything the manager has been saying and trying to put that into practice.To be able to train every day with so many class players has been amazing for me.Theyll come over and have a little word in my ear. Theyll tell me what Im doing right and what I can improve on. A lot of the senior players have helped me in different ways.Getty3

Gerrard was in charge of Jones’ development last season before heading to Rangers, and was impressed with what he saw from the youngster.He said: “Im really pleased and proud of Curtis this season, for his effort and commitment to the team cause and he has added big numbers to his game.We will probably see Curtis more with the U23s now, and he has earned that.In terms of the day, for him its very special. Lets hope he goes from strength to strength now and he sees this as the beginning.

How old is he?

The Liverpool youngster was born on January 30, 2001.He’s just 17 and already knocking on the first-team door with his performances so far this summer.
