BEN DOAK admits he's living the dream with Liverpool after his meteoric rise to fame and is happy to wait for an inevitable Scotland call-up.
And the 17-year-old believes working with some of the world's best players at Anfield has improved his game hugely.
The former Celtic winger made his competitive debut for Scotland Under-21s this week in their opening Euro 2025 qualifier.
Doak lit up the game with his electrifying runs in the first half in particular and terrorised the Spanish defence with his pace and skill.
At one point he was even applauded by the sellout crowd in Jaen after producing an outrageous dummy and was mobbed after the game by Spanish fans looking for autographs and selfies.
The teenager has burst onto the scene after making a huge impact for the Anfield club on their pre-season tours and was praised by manager Jurgen Klopp.
He came on as a sub for Mo Salah on the opening day of the season at Chelsea and that has led to calls for Steve Clarke to fast-track him into the senior squad.
