Notts County manager Paul Ince believes it is '50-50' whether his son Thomas extends his loan at Meadow Lane for the rest of the season.
The teenage midfielder has made six appearances for the Magpies since joining on loan from Liverpool, but his current deal expires next week.
Magpies boss Ince believes the 18-year-old is benefiting from first-team football and hopes to convince his Liverpool counterpart Roy Hodgson to agree to an extension.
"It's 50-50 at the moment," said Ince in the Nottingham Evening Post. "I've spoken to Roy and will speak to him again to try to sort out a deal to keep him here until the end of the season.
"At this moment Thomas is at the best place he could be and he needs to stay here.
"He was training with the first team but not playing games so he needed to get out on loan. That is why he is here, and he's doing very well.
"He's a flair player and he needs to be pushed to express himself. I think he is now starting to express himself here.
"He feels accepted by the players and fans, and they want to see him produce a moment of magic, which is a big thing for an 18-year-old."
