After one of the worst months in the history of the club, Liverpool, were back to winning ways with an emphatic performance against title rivals Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield in their last game.
The Reds are knocked out of the FA Cup and the League Cup this season and have only the Premier League to play for and they are expected to give their all every game, to try and stand a chance of qualifying for European football come the end of the season.
With no real shot of silverware, a place in the top-4 is the only real aim for the Reds and the manager is already planning for life after the end of the season.
The German has laid utmost importance in improving the domestic circuit at the club and has been on the lookout for young talent who have a point to prove.
He has been linked with a number of such wonder kids and one such player who is now finalizing a deal with the Reds is French sensation Yasser Larouci.
An attacking midfielder by trait, Larouci, is one of the most exciting players in the domestic circuit in France but he has been looking to manufacture a way into the Premier League for sometime now.
He was on trial at the St Marys earlier this season but failed to earn himself a contract and according to reports from Goal, Liverpool have all but completed his signature.
The youngster was a part of the Le Havre side, a second tier team in France and was in some fine form this season.
He was the captain of the U16s side but chose to reject a new contract from the League 2 side recently.
Southampton were not the only English club interested in his signature. Jose Mourinho, the new manager at Manchester United, also had his eyes on the youngster for a move in the summer.
It is reported that the Red Devils had scouts watching over the midfielder in recent games but Liverpool are not set to beat Manchester United to the signature of Yasser Larouci.
The report claims that the Reds are finalizing the terms of his Anfield contract and that the player is now just days away from joining the Kirkby academy at the Merseyside.
The 16-year old born in Algeria is currently without a contract and Liverpool will hope that he can turn into a top class talent in years to come.
Do you think Yasser Larouci can become an Anfield star in the future?
