Liverpool youngster Liam Millar has moved on loan to Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock.

And he will be hoping to use his time in Scotland wisely and impress Jurgen Klopp ahead of next season.

The 19-year-old striker has been in sensational form for Liverpool’s academy teams, netting 19 goals under Steven Gerrard last season.

This season, Millar scored six goals and picked up four assists in 14 games for the youth team, as per transfermarkt.

But now the talented teenager is set for another challenge as he tastes senior club football for the first time.

Millar will be tested in the Scottish Premiership as he tries to help Kilmarnock finish in a European spot.

But the four cap Canada international will be determined to make a success of himself with this loan spell in a bid to fast-track himself into the Liverpool set-up.

Klopp will be keeping his tabs on all of his youngsters out on loan and the likes of Harry Wilson and Ryan Kent could feature next season.

Millar clearly has a long-term future as he signed a new contract extension before he was sent out on loan to Kilmarnock.

But if he can find his goal scoring touch at Kilmarnock, it might tempt Klopp to promote Millar, especially with Dominic Solanke leaving last month and Daniel Sturridge’s contract expiring.
