In that match, he showed maturity and composure, even when faced with Liverpool’s senior midfielders, with the likes of Fabinho struggling to get near him.
His partnership with Zidane Iqbal, who may also go out on loan before the transfer window closes, was a fruitful one and the pair are known to be good friends.

For now, Charlie Savage will earn his stripes in senior football in League One.
It will not be an easy climate to walk into for the youngster, with Forest Green dead last in the table, although it is a tight competition.
The newly promoted side, currently without a manager, have struggled this season and will be hoping that their new recruit can help turn the tide.
