New Liverpool signing Sebastian Coates is ready to be thrown into Liverpool's first team according to coach Steve Clarke. The 20 year old has got great potential and displayed how good he is during Uruguay's Copa America success. Coates was awarded young player of the tournament and will certainly be pushing for a place in Liverpool's first team despite being only 20 years of age.
Steve Clarke: "He's a full international and Uruguay are amongst the top five in the world, so they're a strong international team,"
"He's a talented youngster and gives us different options at the back. He's ready to play if required, but we've also got many other centre-halves ready to play if required. "You never really know how a foreign player coming into the English game is going to adapt. Some take a long time to adjust, while others like Luis Suarez come in and settle straight away. "You just keep an eye on it and hope the boy settles quickly, gets to know his team-mates, gets a few chances to play and then you build on it from there.
"It'll be a different challenge for him because the English Premier League is a league that takes a little bit of getting used to, so hopefully we can nurse him along, get him ready and he'll be a valuable addition to the squad.
"We look to sign young players that can improve and we looked at his performances throughout the Copa America when he was named Young Player of the Tournament. It's certainly exciting."
"We're basically a young team who are still getting to know each other and still working on strengths and weaknesses. "All over the team you can see little partnerships and combinations starting to form," "Hopefully over a period of time we'll improve and the team performances will improve too."
