Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp made a beeline for Jarrod Bowen during Saturday's win against West Ham.

The Liverpool Echo say after hurting his ankle from a challenge by Andy Robertson in the second half, Bowen was forced to withdraw.

As Bowen hobbled off at a snail's pace, Jurgen Klopp reserved a ruffle of the head and a pat on the cheek for the former Hull City attacker.

Bowen, of course, has previously been a transfer target for Liverpool, even if that interest has never come particularly close to resulting in a switch to Anfield.

Speaking in his Friday press conference, Reds boss Klopp said: "Jarrod Bowen, pffft, what a player... he became unbelievable.

"We saw as well at Hull and he was really good that time, but I am not sure many people expected this jump, so [he's an] unbelievable player."
