Brighton midfielder Pascal Gross admits he's a big fan of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

Gross was linked with the Reds earlier this season.

He said: “I've been aware of him ever since he became a manager because in Germany the work he did with Mainz was incredible. The football they played, at quite a small club compared to what he trains now, was quite incredible. Then, at Dortmund, it was unbelievable what he did.

"Now he's done the same in England. He represents Germany at the highest level and in a good way.

“So, I think he really deserves a title with the way Liverpool play, whether it's the league or Champions League. I think it's the last step.

“I have a friend who trained under him at Dortmund and he said that this may be the best coach he ever saw. But on top of that, it's the human being. There's not one team in the world that can play like Liverpool did on Tuesday if there is not a good relationship between the manager and the team. It's not only tactics and the way they play is incredible, but also the human being."
