Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he's a big fan of Spanish footballers.

Speaking with Marca, Klopp name-checked stars from Real Madrid, Barcelona - and even Manchester City - as among those he admires.

The German enthused: "(Sergi) Busquets is only 28 years old, right? What a player! He looks like he's been playing for 16 years in this position...

"During my time in Germany, I admired Thiago Alcantara, for example. This year, he breaks the ceiling. And what about David Silva? There are others ... Pedro is playing well at the moment ..."

Klopp also sung the praises of one compatriot.

"Toni Kroos is an exceptional footballer, a genius. He is so subtle with the ball at his feet ... At Real Madrid, he is very important. I love him so much. He always knows what to do with the ball."
