‘Underrated at Chelsea, I will love to sign him’ – Jurgen Klopp says of Chelsea star
According to former Chelsea and Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will love to have Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic at Liverpool.
Liverpool have been linked with a move for the Croatia international and Johnson, who played for both Liverpool and Chelsea, says Kovacic would be well suited.
“Mateo Kovacic is a top class player so the interest is no surprise,” Johnson told Lord Ping. “If he leaves Chelsea, he would suit Liverpool very well.
“He will be a pair of fresh legs in there and be very energetic. Jurgen Klopp will love the way he plays. He would improve any one of those sides.
“The interest from many clubs proves that he is underrated at Chelsea.
“Core football fans will appreciate his performances over the ones who prefer goals and flair.
“He is a lot better on the ball than people give him credit for. He is a bit like Lucas Leiva when he played for Liverpool. He didn’t get the most credit, but the players loved him. I can only imagine Kovacic has the same fate.”
