Ex-Liverpool midfielder Redknapp: Klopp must be signing of the season

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp says Jurgen Klopp is the club's signing of the season.

Klopp extended his current contract from 2021 to 2024 earlier this week.

Redknapp wrote in the Daily Mail: "You will not see a cheekier goal scored this season than that by Mohamed Salah against Watford. It was such quick thinking to go for the back-heel and send it through the legs of Christian Kabasele.

"That was a moment of sheer individual genius but the beauty of Liverpool is the way the entire team work together.

"Every fan out there must wish their players gave as much as those in red do for Jurgen Klopp. Getting the German to put pen to paper until 2024 is Liverpool's signing of the season, without doubt.

"They still have to go on to win the 2019-20 title but I get the sense that the club believe they can be dominant for years to come.

"They want to win it this season, then come back and defend it next year, and then the year after that. Everything is in place for them to dominate, too, especially with that manager staying put."
