Brighton and Hove Albion star Pascal Gross has revealed he is a huge admirer of Jurgen Klopp - but admitted a move to Liverpool is unlikely.
The German midfielder has enjoyed an outstanding start to the new season with the Seagulls, picking up three goals and two assists in his opening six Premier League games as the south coast club started brightly. But respected manager Graham Potter has since left for Chelsea, to be replaced by former Sassuolo and Shakhtar Donetsk boss Roberto De Zerbi.
His imperious performance in the 2-1 win against Manchester United on the opening weekend sparked rumours of a move away before the end of the window - with fleeting speculation of a move to Liverpool. But despite his admiration for fellow German Klopp - and a dream of Champions League football - the 31-year-old thinks a move to Merseyside is unlikely.
