Klopp hails Coutinho
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has hailed Philippe Coutinho’s off-the-pitch influence after the Brazilian penned a new five-year contract at Liverpool.
“This is wonderful news and I know everyone associated with LFC will be delighted when hearing this today,” Klopp told the Liverpool website .
“I think everyone knows what a great footballer Phil is, that is not in question - but not everyone sees what an incredibly positive character he is and what a big influence he is on the dressing room.
“I knew of Phil before I came to Liverpool and I was well aware of what a talent he was, but since arriving here I have not only witnessed his ability up close, but also his ever-continuing development. He is truly world-class - in that very top bracket.
“The fact he wants to stay here and be part of what we are looking to build and develop shows his personal commitment is to make himself better and be an integral part of something that is very special.”
