The Liverpool star has recently returned from injury.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp raved about the ability of Adam Lallana when speaking to reporters yesterday, suggesting that the Englishman has been a joy to watch recently, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo.

The 30-year-old has suffered badly with injuries this season, making just 13 Premier League appearances so far, but he seems to be returning to somewhere near his best.

Lallana joined Liverpool from Southampton in the summer of 2014, for a fee believed to be worth £25 million, and he has gone on to rack up 21 goals and 20 assists in 156 appearances in all competitions for the Merseyside outfit.

Having the England international back to his best will be a huge boost for the Reds in the Premier League run-in, and Klopp told reporters just how impressed he has been with the attacking midfielder recently, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo:

“A player with the ability and skills of Adam Lallana is a pure joy to watch when the fitness level is increasing and he is back on the pitch. It is clicking for him again. His attitude was always incredible.”

Liverpool play host to Tottenham tomorrow, and Lallana might just have a key role to play for his team, with Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita both big doubts for the game.

The Merseysiders must win the game, if they are to be top of the table after this weekend’s action, with Manchester City heavy favourites to beat Fulham away this afternoon.
