'He’s a bit like Iniesta' - Molby likens Lallana to Barcelona legend

The former Liverpool midfielder believes a man currently starring for Jurgen Klopp's side can easily be compared to an iconic World Cup winner

Jan Molby claims Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has become a “key midfield player” for the Reds and a man who can look “a bit like Iniesta” when on top form.

The England international has not always been heralded as an Anfield success story, taking his time to justify a hefty transfer fee.

He has, however, flourished under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp, with his game tailor-made for the German coach.

Lallana prides himself on offering a mix of graft and guile, with hard work complemented by fine technical ability and an eye for goal.
