Liverpool youngster Owen Beck is looking forward to his Bolton Wanderers debut during his season-long loan.
The Reds youngster joined the league one club on a season-long loan towards the end of the summer transfer window.
He initially joined Portuguese first division team Famalicao in July, but that deal was cancelled.
Beck, 20, was left out of Bolton’s matchday squad in a 3-1 win over Charlton on 3 September before their clash with Cheltenham last Saturday was postponed following the death of the Queen.
what has been said
Talking with him Bolton Newsmanager Ian Evatt now believes the Trotters are beginning to see the quality of Beck in training.
He said: “Physically, he wasn’t where we needed him to be because playing full-back for me is probably the most difficult position.
“It is the most physically demanding and you have to be very, very fit.
“I think it was not at the required level, but I think it is coming fast.
“I think the last few days of training have done him a lot of good and I’m starting to see what he can really do now, which is really good.”
‘He will have to improve physically’
Fellow Liverpool defender Conor Bradley is also on loan at Bolton.
He is off to a great start, having scored three goals in 10 appearances.
Bradley has backed Beck to thrive on the Trotters.
He said: “We’ve been best friends since I went to Liverpool, so obviously him coming here is great for me. I am sure that he will start playing as soon as possible.
“He knows me well, so that’s going to make getting into the locker room a little bit easier, and I’m sure the guys are going to love him too.”
“He gave me a little call to say Bolton was interested but had been watching the games anyway.
“Bolton have been brilliant with me so far, they have helped me in every way. He has been a great move for me.
“Liverpool thinks the same as me: keep going, see where it takes us. Ian Evatt says Beck’s lack of recent competitive play means he will have to improve physically before being thrown into the League One cauldron.”
