It still fills me with such regret as an Arsenal fan that the Gunners were not able to move in for Jurgen Klopp when the opportunity was there. The club was going backwards and Arsene Wenger’s attachment to the club meant that the German instead chose to make the switch to Liverpool as the Frenchman remained in place.
His stay at the club has outlasted Wenger, Unai Emery and now continues into Mikel Arteta’s tenure at Arsenal. It will go on into the foreseeable future too after Klopp signed a new deal with the Reds.
He said, “There is a freshness about us as a club still and this energises me. For as long as I have been here, our owners have been unbelievably committed and energetic about this club and it is clear that right now this applies to our future as much as I’ve ever known.
