Liverpool face Fulham this weekend and it’s clear that Jurgen Klopp has a lot of love for one of their players in particular, ahead of their trip to Anfield.
Speaking to the media, the German said: “The little curly one. One of the greatest players the Premier League ever saw still going and going and going [Willian].”
It was a rather comical compliment from the boss but shows the respect he clearly has for the former Arsenal and Chelsea winger, who’s still performing at the highest level as a 35-year-old.
46 goals and 43 assists in 298 games in the Premier League shows how impressive the Brazilian has been, as well as probably being very underrated.
