Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes Philippe Coutinho can only get better in the future.

The diminutive playmaker returned to the Reds fold in stunning fashion on the weekend after scoring a delightful free-kick against Leicester.

The Reds saw off significant bids from Barcelona for the Brazilian's services this past summer, and Klopp is hoping Liverpool can reap the benefits as he continues to develop.

"He's still a young player so I hope he can still be better in the future," Klopp said in his pre-match press conference.

"He was in good shape before back problems and is now in good shape, that's really important for us. He has a fantastic game for us last weekend, so very important."
