Liverpool’s 18-year-old prodigy Suso has been backed by his compatriot Jose Enrique to go on to establish himself as a world class talent.
The Spanish full back was full of praise for Suso, who has greatly benefited from Brendan Rodgers’ penchant for utilizing the stand out individuals amongst the clubs youth ranks recently. Suso made his debut in Liverpool’s thrilling 5-3 win over Swiss outfit Young Boys last week, and subsequently found himself on the bench during the club’s game with Manchester United last Sunday.
The diminutive attacking midfielder had an immediate impact when he came off the bench against Sir Alex Ferguson’s side, instantly helping create Steven Gerrard’s opener. Fellow Spaniard Enrique is confident the youngster can achieve whatever he desires, providing he keeps up the hard work.
“I know Suso well because we speak Spanish together and I think he is a top player already," Enrique told the Liverpool Echo.
“He can be a really top player for Liverpool and for any team in the world,”
“I tell him he has to work very hard in the Premier League and work back like all the other players. That is very important, but I tell him if he works hard he has all the qualities.
The former Newcastle United full back feels that young Suso is ready to follow in the footsteps of Raheem Sterling, who looks to be handling the transition from youth and reserve level to the first team with consummate ease.
“I think he is ready now. We saw that against Manchester United. He played very well,” Enrique added.
“We knew Raheem Sterling was confident because we have seen him play a few times already, but he surprised me by trying all the things he is trying in matches at 17-years-old.”
