Sarri might make an offer! - Klopp pleased with Lallana's performance in 'Jorginho role'

Jurgen Klopp says he was pleased with Adam Lallana's performance in the 'Jorginho role' after Liverpool's 3-1 victory over Bradford City on Sunday.

Liverpool have a number of talented midfielders, including Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Giorginio Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, battling alongside Lallana for playing time heading into the 2019-20 campaign.

Lallana, who played the first half of Sunday's friendly win, featured just 16 times throughout Liverpool's Champions League-winning campaign, having played in just 15 matches the season prior.

But Klopp believes Lallana is carving out a potential new role for himself this preseason, playing in a position similar to that occupied by Jorginho with Chelsea.
