The kid looks a star.
Another game, another goal. Marko Grujic is barely 20 years old, and yet he has taken to wearing the famous Liverpool shirt like a duck to water.
It may only be early pre-season, with Fleetwood Town and Huddersfield Town providing the lower tier opposition, but the lanky Serbian has got the fans drooling with his goals and overall play.
GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grujic. And another knee slide. This boy looks special. #LFC

He scored the opener in a 2-0 win at the John Smith’s Stadium, with Alberto Moreno doubling the lead with a late penalty.
Much like his first for the club, Grujic was in the right place at the right and had the composure and technique to rifle home with aplomb. Dare we say it but both strikes so far have had a hint of Steven Gerrard about them.

It is safe to say that the Anfield faithful are just a tad excited about a player they picked up for a mere £5.1m from Red Star Belgrade.
The 6ft 3in midfielder was wanted by a host of suitors including Inter Milan, Juventus, Chelsea, and AC Milan before Jurgen Klopp personally convinced him to join the Reds.
Grujic has previously been compared to such exalted talents as Yaya Toure and Patrick Vieira for his multi-dimensional game and dynamic box-to-box style.
His physically imposing frame, which has yet to properly fill out, also helps when dealing with the hustle and bustle of the England game.
It’s hardly surprising that this lot are chuffed to bits that he wears the Liverpool crest on his chest…
