The Ipswich Town forward adores his pets and enjoys getting his celebrations started on 25 December by taking them out for an early stroll.

Asked his Christmas traditions and rituals, he told Match magazine: “I love dogs, so I would have to say that my favourite tradition is a nice dog walk in the morning.”

Liam signed for Ipswich in July and the 21-year-old player previously spoke of his desire to help keep the side in the Premier League for as long as possible.

Speaking to TownTV, he said: “I just want to improve as a player and help the team as much as I can.

“It’s such a great club with great players and great staff and I think what we can do is very special.

“I just want to give the fans what they want, keep them happy and be in the Premier League for a long time.”

Liam believes the top flight newcomers are a team “on the up”.

He added: "It’s a great bunch of boys and a great manager with great staff and what the club’s done in the last two years is incredible.

“It’s a club on the up and I’ve heard so many good things about the feeling and the fans and how the players and staff work – and that’s what got me excited to come here.”
