My son gave Klopp the fist-pump! - Liverpool star Lallana

Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has revealed that his son is a big fan of manager Jurgen Klopp.

Ahead of this Wednesday's Europa League final against Sevilla, the 27-year-old recounted an incident when his son directed Klopp's customary fist-pump celebration at the German, who happens to live next door.

"We have a landing in our house that looks into his garden," said Lallana.

"One night I was taking my little boy (Arthur) up for a bath. He (Klopp) was taking out the bins so I put Arthur on the balcony and he was shouting 'Klopp!' and giving it the fist-pump celebration.

"He just looked at him and gave him a wave!

"He is a great character to have around. He is emotional and aggressive in his demands but he doesn't get that angry after a game. I really like the way he is and his traits bring the best out of a lot of players. He is very structured in what he says."
