De Jong and Fabinho inspiring Lallana's transition into a defensive midfielder

The England international has transitioned to a deeper role with Liverpool as he looks to re-establish himself under Jurgen Klopp

Adam Lallana says that he has looked to Frenkie de Jong and Fabinho for inspiration as he undergoes a transformation into a deep-lying midfielder.

The 31-year-old has transitioned into a deeper role this season, with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp half-joking that the English international could turn into the club's Jorginho.

Although that transition has not happened yet, with Fabinho enjoying a spectacular start to the season, Lallana has said he is enjoying the move after trying his hand at the role in pre-season .
