John McMahon has revealed Roy Hodgson's first-team plan for starlet Dani Pacheco.
The Spanish ace is regarded as one of the most talented youngsters in Europe after rising to prominence in a withdrawn striking role.
However, this season he has been deployed more regularly on the right-side of midfield, a switch that McMahon feels can boost the No.12's claims for more first-team involvement.
"The boss (Roy Hodgson) is keen on him," he told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"He sees Dani filling those wide roles, so when he plays for the reserves he occupies those positions and learns to adapt and play in them.
"It's good for his development to learn several roles and it will only benefit him, especially if he's required to do a job for the first-team."
