Jurgen Klopp says Adam Lallana is a very important player for Liverpool

Adam Lallana is a “brilliant” player who is getting better with every game, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says.

Lallana is expected to feature in the Friday Night Football clash against Chelsea, live on Sky Sports 1 HD, and will be looking to extend a purple patch in front of goal, which has seen him net three goals in his last six matches for club and country.

Klopp rates the versatile 28-year-old – who lives next door to him in Formby – highly and appears to be getting the best out of him .

“I knew him from Southampton and I thought he was a really good player. To be honest I didn’t see too much from when he played for Liverpool but I knew from Southampton he was a brilliant player.

“Since we worked together it’s always getting better. He can play different positions, he’s quick, he’s mentally strong, he’s a smart player.
