Jurgen Klopp reveals his favourite footballer

Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp has revealed that West Ham United’s Jarrod Bowen is his ‘favourite player’ outside of his own Reds team.

Klopp spoke just before Liverpool’s Carabao Cup quarter-final 5-1 victory over West Ham United on Wednesday night.

Bowen was linked as a potential replacement for Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah a few months ago

The 26-year-old, who scored the only goal for West Ham against Liverpool, has been in fine form for the Hammers.

Speaking with Sky Sports: Klopp said, “In quarter-finals, everybody can smell the chance to go through.

“Playing without [Michail] Antonio, and Bowen steps up in that position – probably my favourite player besides my players.

“It’s just great what he’s doing and how he develops.”
