Jurgen Klopp praises player Liverpool are reportedly replacing in the summer

Jurgen Klopp has praised the impact that Joel Matip has had on Liverpool since coming into the side in place of the injured Dejan Lovren and Joe Gomez.

Reports from Italy today claim that Klopp is keen to sign Matthias Ginter, who he recruited for Borussia Dortmund, as a replacement for the lovable but injury prone Joel Matip.

The Cameroonian would be a fine defensive squad option if it weren’t for his poor injury record but his role in the starting XI right now is crucial to Liverpool’s chances of winning the Premier League this season and Klopp has spoken about his ‘impressive cameo.’

“It’s been very impressive since he came into the side,” Klopp told his pre-Everton press conference on Friday afternoon.

“Before he got injured he was outstanding, particularly against Napoli. Losing him then was the wrong moment but he is a high-class player and doing a very good job.

“He loves what he’s doing and it’s really nice to have him around, The centre-half couples we’ve had this season have worked really well.

“I’ve never had this situation with 5 centre-halfs in my life, including Nat Phillips, and now we don’t even have three.

“But Matip was fantastic the other night.”
