Klopp said: "We are in constant contact. Pep Lijnders installed a WhatsApp group with our on-loan players and obviously we are watching really closely what he’s doing and it’s great.
"I’m not sure if he’ll be player of the season there but for sure he’s a contender which is absolutely great.
“Only a few years ago, only a few football nerds would have known about him and now everybody knows him.”
Klopp rates Bradley highly - and has ruled out a permanent move for the youngster this summer.
The boss explained: “He’s our boy which I like a lot, super mentality which is extremely help and all the rest will come.
“Conor will be our player, but we have to see if it makes sense to go out on loan”.
