Jurgen Klopp says there are world-class players in Liverpool

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp noted that there are world-class players under his leadership, FootballPlayer365 reported.

“The truly world-class players will always succeed (Lewandowski, Hummels) but I do believe that if Mane, Firmino or Salah moved away they would be nowhere near as good for this reason (not top bracket world-class players, just very good players playing world-class level in the system). I actually think this is the same with Pochettino’s players and the concern with Eriksen and what happened with Sanchez at Arsenal versus how he is now at Man United. The Premier League has very few truly world-class players that would play well anywhere since Hazard now left and outside of the Manchester City team. Perhaps Kane, Van Dijk and Alisson,” he said.

Liverpool defeated Southampton 2-1 during the Premier League second leg.
