Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has raved about Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore to The Birmingham Mail.

Klopp was impressed with the display produced by Traore during Wolves’ defeat to Liverpool at the Molineux Stadium on Thursday evening.

Klopp told The Birmingham Mail: “And Traore now, at the moment I would say he is, pretty much, unplayable. I’ve said it now a couple of times and it is still true.

“He is now not only a winger anymore, he keeps the ball, holds the ball and sets up goals, obviously.

“That makes it so difficult, each ball you lose is 100% a counter attack and half a goal. But apart from that they had not too many chances.”
