Jurgen Klopp outlines why Georginio Wijnaldum is such an important player for Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp has addressed why Georginio Wijnaldum is such an important player for his Liverpool side.

The Dutchman is having a sensational season, although it would be fair to add that his form has somewhat gone under the radar.

It was not that long ago Gary Neville lauded Wijnaldum as the most underrated player in the Premier League, and the way Klopp was talking about Wijnaldum recently, it appears he agrees.

“He’s an outstanding player,” said Klopp, as reported by LiverpoolFC.com.

“He combines a lot of things that you need. On a one-on-one situation, he can keep the body between the opponent and the ball, then pass the ball.

“I don’t know how many positions he’s played. In the double-six he plays really well.

“He can play all three positions in midfield and that’s really nice. All the boys are really versatile, to be honest.

“Hendo came in on Saturday and played the half-space and helped so much with how we defended. He was really lively. But Gini is in a good moment.”
