Jurgen Klopp makes Khvicha Kvaratskhelia claim as FSG transfer 'agreement' is reached

Here are your Liverpool morning headlines for Wednesday, November 2.

Jurgen Klopp makes 'cheeky' Khvicha Kvaratskhelia admission

Jurgen Klopp has admitted Liverpool had a plan to deal with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in Tuesday night’s victory over Napoli after praising Trent Alexander-Arnold’s performance against the in-form winger.

The 21-year-old has been in sensational form since joining the Italians this summer, returning eight goals and 10 assists from his first 16 appearances. And while the Georgia international was unable to add to such totals at Anfield, he set tongues wagging with an eye-catching performance.

And while Klopp acknowledged Kvaratskhelia got the better of Alexander-Arnold on one or two occasions, he was played with his right-back, whose form has been criticised for the majority of the season, for how he rose to the occasion.

“He (Kvaratskhelia) is a good player, both are good players,” he said. “It was a really difficult one. I know people will talk about one or two situations with Trent when he tried to get in front of him and the ball goes through.”

Now, a fresh report has claimed that Liverpool are making plans to sign the England international. An article in German news outlet Sport Bild has provided an update on the future of the Dortmund midfielder.
