Liverpool star Emre Can has backed his fellow countryman Jurgen Klopp to take the reins at Anfield.

Following the dismissal of Brendan Rodgers, former Borussia Dortmund manager Klopp has emerged as the frontrunner for the vacant position at the Merseyside club and Reds defender/midfielder Can admits it would be a major coup for his team.

"Jurgen Klopp is certainly a great coach," Can told German newspaper Die Welt.

"I think he has demonstrated in Dortmund that he can work at any team in the world."
