Jurgen Klopp told all about Newcastle 'superstar' as Liverpool boss put in place after jibe

Eddie Howe deserves 'all the credit' for Newcastle United's turnaround after helping turn Miguel Almiron into a 'superstar'.

That is according to Tim Sherwood, who has hit out at Jurgen Klopp for the comments the Liverpool boss made about the Magpies earlier this month. Klopp sarcastically congratulated Newcastle on having no ceiling and claimed there are 'three clubs in world football who can do what they want financially' when 'other clubs have ceilings'.

Sherwood, who worked as a pundit with Howe for Premier League Productions during the Newcastle boss' time out of the game, felt Klopp had been 'really disrespectful' and 'rich' with his dig. To illustrate his point about Newcastle's turnaround being down to more than just a £210m spending spree, the former Spurs manager highlighted the improvements Howe has made to a number of players he inherited, such as Almiron.
