Jurgen Klopp left Liverpool fans guessing after explaining that he sees an unnamed German legend in Leighton Clarkson’s game, but that player has now been revealed.
Clarkson made his Champions League debut in Wednesday night’s 1-1 draw with Midtjylland, and produced an impressive performance at the base of the midfield.
The 19-year-old is one of five youngsters to debut in the competition for Liverpool already this season, joining Neco Williams, Caoimhin Kelleher, Rhys Williams and Billy Koumetio.
And ahead of the game, Klopp revealed he has given Clarkson the nickname of a legendary German player from the past, though leaving it wide open as to which.
