New man: Kevin Schade
(Picture: Getty Images)If Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool were rattled by Brentford’s physicality and directness in Monday night’s defeat, then they are unlikely to appreciate what is coming down the track: a new No9, known as one of the quickest players in Europe, whose favourite pastimes away from football include playing basketball instead.
Kevin Schade was linked with a move to Anfield soon after his emergence at German side Freiburg, but this week joined Brentford, initially on a six-month loan deal that will become permanent for around £21million in the summer.
