Arsene Wenger has praised the recruitment carried out by Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp, saying he would give "10 out of 10 to the scouts."
The iconic former Arsenal manager was speaking after the Reds earned a comfortable 3-1 win over Benfica in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. Ibrahima Konate, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz were on the scoresheet in Lisbon to put Klopp's side on the brink of the last four.
Liverpool are also in contention for Premier League and FA Cup glory this season having already won the Carabao Cup. The team's ability to compete on all fronts is founded in the squad depth, which has been expertly assembled by manager Klopp and the club's recruitment team. Konate and Diaz were both new signings this season and played crucial goalscoring roles on Tuesday.
