'Mario needs a few games in a row... then we'll see the old Gotze again': Jurgen Klopp backs his former charge to hit heights again as he admits it makes 'total sense' for midfielder to leave Borussia Dortmund this summer

Jurgen Klopp believes Mario Gotze can find his best form again when he leaves Borussia Dortmund this summer.

The midfielder emerged as one of the most impressing young players in Europe when playing under the Liverpool manager at Borussia Dortmund between 2009 and 2013.

He helped them win five major trophies – including the Bundesliga twice – before joining Bayern Munich and inspiring Germany to a World Cup win in 2014.
