Amartey excelled in the game against Crystal Palace and performed well as a second-half substitute in the win over Tottenham.

“I’ve been really delighted with Dan,” said Rodgers.

“When I came in he was injured but he’s worked his way back and came in and played in some important games for us. Against Manchester City (the 5-2 win) I thought he was outstanding.

“The more I’ve seen of him, I think he’s going to be a very important player for our squad.”
