Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says striker Dominic Solanke can take inspiration from Harry Kane as he urged for patience in the England’s forward’s development.

England under-21 coach Aidy Boothroyd has expressed concern at Solanke’s lack of game time since he moved to Anfield.

But Klopp cited the example of Kane and Jamie Vardy, whose breakthroughs followed a prolonged period of development to reach the top level.

“I remember a picture of Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy sitting on the bench for Leicester. They obviously didn't start that day but they made their way,” said Klopp.

“I don't know exactly where Harry Kane was at the same stage of his career but it was all over the country playing and not playing. It is really difficult for strikers to get the one spot or one of the two. We are still 100% sure everything will be fine for Dom.
