Liverpool striker Danns: My hunger greater after breakthrough

Liverpool's teenage striker Jayden Danns says he wants to build on this season's breakthrough.

Danns insists he has the "hunger" to keep pushing himself.

I think the hunger has always been in my belly, even from when I was younger if a player was starting over me I wouldn't like it," the forward told liverpoolfc.com.

So, to be honest, my big goal is to just progress as far as I can go and keep trying to get better as a player, to keep progressing and trying to score goals and do the best for the team. So, the hunger's not gone, it's only just started. That first taste is just unbelievable so you just want to keep getting it again and I'm grateful for everything that is coming.

This is my boyhood club and I'm just grateful to be in this situation. Like I said, the more chances I get the more chances I want to take.

But if I don't get them chances I just want to keep working hard and there's top-class players ahead of you [so] there's no fuss about whether you're in or you're not, you're just grateful when you're in and around it, so the chances that I get, I'll work as hard as I can and try to take them."
