RB Salzburg head coach Jesse Marsch has backed Takumi Minamino to be a big success at Liverpool.
The Japanese international made the £7.25m move to Anfield in January after impressing against the Reds in the Champions League group stage earlier this season.
Since his arrival Minamino has featured just seven times and is yet to make a Premier League start.
Marsch has urged there are so many talented players at Liverpool it might take the 25-year-old some time but he is backing him to become a key man under Jurgen Klopp one who will soon establish himself at the club.
The American boss told ESPN FC, as cited by the Mirror: “When I came [to the club], I knew he was going to be a big part of what we were about. He’s smart, very clever.
“He’s not pure explosive but he understands football, he understands how to make final plays and tactics.
“What you have in Liverpool is so many talented and experienced players that play ahead of him, so it might take a while for Taki to establish himself in that group.
“I think over time, they’re going to figure out more and more and more that he can play almost any of the front six positions for Liverpool.

“Because he’s so smart and clever, he’ll figure things out and get better as he goes.
“I’ve heard that in training he’s done really well and they’ve been really impressed, but in games it just hasn’t come together for him.
“It might take a little bit of time, but knowing Taki he’s a guy who has so much drive and will find a way to get better every day.
“It’ll only be a matter of time.”
