The Reds have been keen to land the Blackpool winger and are now believed to be in advanced negotiationds to bring him to Anfield this transfer window.
However, his father and former Liverpool player Paul insists that he needs to be getting first team action.
"There is no point Thomas going to a Premiership club and not playing football," he said.
"That will just stunt his development. Where he goes he will have to be involved and have the chance to get game time.
"He might as well stay at Blackpool and keep playing week-in and week-out."
