Jurgen Klopp's reaction to meeting new Liverpool signing Sepp van den Berg for the very first time is priceless.
The 17-year-old Dutchman sealed a £1.3 million transfer to Anfield as Klopp has another giant defender on his books.

Van den Berg, who stands at a towering 1.89m, met Klopp for the first time as the German returned to Melwood since the end of last season and it was a brilliant encounter.
"Sepp, nice to meet you. My god - tall," the Liverpool boss hilariously said before engaging in a conversation.
The 2018/19 Champions League winners fended off competition from Bayern Munich to land Van den Berg with the youngster calling his move to Liverpool as a dream come true.

"Can I put it into words? It's just amazing. It is, for me, the biggest club in the world and it's a dream come true. I am really excited," he told the club's website.
"I couldn't believe it, I thought it was a joke. I was really happy and, to be honest, I was a little bit scared at first because such a big club had interest in me. So, I was a little bit scared but eventually I was really excited.
"I am really happy to be here and looking forward to next season.
"When I came here for the first time, it directly gave me a good feeling. The people who work here were really nice to me and everybody I met was really nice, so it gave me a good feeling - a family feeling, and that's very important for me.

"I am a little bit of a family guy, so it was hard to leave home to come here, but I saw how the people looked after me. It gave me a really good feeling."
Van den Berg is slightly shorter than Dutch compatriot Virgil van Dijk who stands at a huge 1.93m, yet, one thing's for sure, Klopp boasts not one but two colossal defenders.
