Borussia Dortmund star Mats Hummels has backed Jurgen Klopp to be a success at Liverpool.

The 26-year-old won two Bundesliga titles and one German Cup under Klopp's reign at Dortmund and feels he has the qualities to succeed at Anfield.

The German international, who is in Dublin for Germany's Euro qualifier against Ireland, said: "There is no doubt about it, he is a fantastic coach, he's absolutely great.

"When you thought, 'What is he going to do post Dortmund?', then clubs like Liverpool certainly came into the frame.

"He lives, eats, breathes and thinks football day after day. He will be a fantastic addition and I am certainly keeping my fingers crossed for the next step in his career."
