"He is training with the first team. Maybe he would find it difficult to play 90 minutes right now, but he will be able to," said the Liverpool boss.
"Normally he will be available for the first team next season. He is a player who wants to improve quickly, so he will learn and then settle down.
"We have known the player for one or two years. He was in the last year of his contract and was a good price. He is a young player and has a lot of experience to gain, but he can also give a lot to us now as well as in the future."
