Liverpool striker Samed Yesil is hoping the appointment of Jurgen Klopp will enable him to make a fresh start at Anfield.

The German youth international’s prospects looked bleak when he was sent to Swiss Super League outfit FC Luzern on a season-long loan last summer.

However, Yesil still believes he can make the grade at Liverpool and has been buoyed by Klopp’s arrival in place of Brendan Rodgers.

“When I heard that he was coach I thought ‘oh how cool’,” Yesil told German newspaper BILD.

“He is known to rely on young players.”

Asked if Klopp had been in contact, he added: “I prefer to speak with goals than to send him Christmas cards. We’ll talk to each other when the time comes.

“I know my quality and trust myself, I’ll push through there (Liverpool). But for now it is about collecting match practice with Luzern.”

Yesil arrived at Liverpool in a £1million move from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2012.

Rodgers handed him his debut against West Brom in the League Cup and he made another appearance against Swansea in the competition.

However, his progress was then rocked by back to back cruciate ligament injuries.

He has so far scored once in eight games for Luzern, who are managed by former Liverpool defender Markus Babbel.
