Youngster Gomez enjoying life at Liverpool - 'It's been a great experience'

Joe Gomez admits he has been pleased with his start to life as a Liverpool player.

The 18-year-old defender joined the Reds from Charlton Athletic in the summer and has already featured six times for the Merseyside club

Ahead of his potential home Europa League debut against FC Sion on Thursday night, Gomez spoke of his enjoyment at being a part of the Liverpool setup and how he plans to continue to make an impact at Anfield.

"It's been a great experience for me getting the game time. I've learned a lot already and I'm looking to keep on working," he said.

"I had aspirations to come in and be involved, and try and have an impact, but I knew with me being young that I might get the chances straight away and might have to bide my time.

"But at the same time I wanted to come to club to play under a manager like Brendan, who gives young players a chance, so I have to take the opportunities I get.

"I'm enjoying it. It was a bonus to start the first few games of the season. It's just good to be in an environment like this, learning from top quality players every day.

"The Europa League is a massive competition and we want to do as well as we can in it. It's a massive game and another chance for a win."
