Harry Wilson is on a mission to force his way into Jurgen Klopp's plans at Liverpool following his successful loan spell at Hull City.

The 21-year-old winger believes he benefited greatly from spending the second half of the campaign with the Championship outfit.

Wilson excelled for the Tigers - scoring seven goals in 13 league appearances as he helped lift them away from the drop zone.

Now he's determined to prove he can make the grade at Anfield.

"I felt that it was massive for me," Wilson said.

"When January came around it was what I wanted. It took a bit longer to sort than I wanted but on the last day of the window I managed to get out. I got the minutes I wanted at Hull and I feel that it has benefited me massively.

"The goals and assists were great me and I was delighted to contribute there.

"I haven't had the chance to speak to Jurgen Klopp about next season yet. I finished at Hull last weekend and I came back to Liverpool on Wednesday.

"I've been moving back into my place and I've got a couple of days off now. Hopefully I'll get the chance to catch up with the manager soon.

"I've taken a lot of confidence from the loan and also from scoring on my full debut for Wales this season."

Wilson, who was crowned Academy Player of the Year at the Liverpool Players' Awards at Anfield on Thursday night, takes inspiration from the rise of Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The teenage full-back has firmly established himself in Klopp's side over the course of this season and Wilson, who made his senior debut for the Reds against Plymouth in the FA Cup in January 2017, is aiming to follow in his footsteps.

Wilson knows that pre-season will be key with Klopp's squad likely to be depleted following the World Cup in Russia.

"That could help me. The players who go to the World Cup will be given time off after the tournament and won't be around in early July," he added.

"That could give me the chance to get in the team. Then it will be up to me to impress the manager and stay in it.

"It's great to see what Trent has achieved this season. He's a lad who has come along the same path as me at the Academy and hopefully that will be me playing for the first team next season.

"I want to come back here after the summer, have a strong pre-season and show what I can do. I've got belief in my own ability."
