When Jurgen Klopp likes a player he is not afraid to say it.
Barely a Liverpool vs Leicester fixture has gone by during the German's six-and-a-bit years in England when the name of Jamie Vardy hasn't been on his lips either before or after the match, with the inclination often that he'd have loved to have got his hands on the Foxes legend earlier in both of their careers.
It was Gabriel Martinelli who was the object of his affections after Thursday night's Carabao Cup semi-final victory over Arsenal though, and with good reason.
