'Klopp is like Shankly, he understands the club' - Liverpool boss 'has done a marvellous job' at Anfield, says Souness

Jurgen Klopp is a "great fit" for Liverpool and "has done a marvellous job" at Anfield over the last five years, according to Graeme Souness, who sees similarities between the current boss and the legendary Bill Shankly.

Since leaving Borussia Dortmund to take up the top job on Merseyside back in 2015, Klopp has transformed the Reds into title contenders and Champions League winners, while endearing himself to supporters with his infectious personality and passion.

Liverpool have built on their sixth European Cup success last June by establishing themselves as the dominant force in English football over the first three-quarters of the 2019-20 campaign, opening up a 25 point lead over reigning Premier League champions Manchester City at the top of the table.
