Liverpool Transfer News: Luca Stephenson has been compared with Jordan Henderson (Image: GETTY)
Stephenson has been compared with fellow Wearsider and former Black Cat Jordan Henderson, who arrived at Anfield for £16million in 2011.
Should the compensation fee be accepted, Stephenson will slot straight into Barry Lewtas' Under-18 squad.
Liverpool invested heavily in the transfer window, spending the money they received from the sale of Philippe Coutinho in January to sign goalkeeper Alisson from Roma, midfielders Naby Keita from RB Leipzig and Fabinho from Monaco and forward Xherdan Shaqiri from Stoke.
And Klopp believes his squad is deep enough to tackle a daunting upcoming schedule.

When Liverpool return from the international break, they will face a run of seven matches over 23 days.
These include Champions League games against Paris St-Germain and Napoli and league encounters against Chelsea and Manchester City.
Chelsea will also visit Anfield in the League Cup during this period.
When asked to assess his squad depth, Klopp said: “Today it's good, but it needs to stay good.”
