And Adam Lallana has starred for Graham Potter's side, with Klopp showering him with huge praise ahead of the player's Anfield return.

On the 33-year-old, Klopp said: "Not only at the start, until the end.

"I miss Adam still to be honest. Adam set the standard from the first to the last day pretty much and it was really impressive.

"What I loved about him, a football player with technical skills he has and that working mentality is really rare.

"I think we all agree if Adam had been a little bit less injured, he could have been on another level."

Klopp continued by paying Lallana a huge compliment.

"One of the best players I've ever worked with," he added. "An absolutely incredible person as well so I'm really looking forward to seeing him again."

The former Southampton youth product spent six seasons at Liverpool, notably winning the Premier League and the Champions League.
