Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is delighted with the form of Joel Matip.
Ahead of facing Leicester City, Klopp was eager to speak about the defender.
"He's absolutely top. We had too many centre-backs injured in the last few years. Never their fault," said the Liverpool boss.
"He is an outstanding player.
"People talk about the best free signings as a transfer, I can imagine it would be a close race between Joel and Millie [James Milner]."
