Adam Lallana offered high praise for Liverpool teammate Georginio Wijnaldum.
Liverpool’s Adam Lallana
During an interview with Sport Magazine, Liverpool star Adam Lallana has discussed the impact made by new signing Georginio Wijnaldum, claiming that the Dutchman deserves more credit for his performances.
The 25-year-old moved to Anfield from Newcastle United for a fee believed to be in the region of £25 million, and whilst he has appeared in eight of the Reds’ nine Premier League games so far this season, he is yet to open his account for his new club.
Lallana spoke in support of his teammate, however, highlighting how many of his displays have gone under the radar, as quoted by Sport Magazine:

“He’s just so happy all the time – in the dressing room and on the pitch. He’s great to play with, too; a proper team player. I feel he goes under the radar at times, but I think he’s had a tremendous start. Some of the work he does goes unnoticed. But when you’re in the same team as him, you realise what a good player he is.”
Jürgen Klopp certainly seems to have built a team who are genuinely capable of making a sustained challenge for the Premier League title this term.

Not only do they have the strength in depth required, but thy seem to have more quality players in their first-team than they did last season.
If Wijnaldum keeps plugging away, the goals will surely come, and with a favourable run of fixtures ahead for the Merseysiders, he will have every opportunity to open his account for the Reds.
