Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has praised Chelsea’s signing of Mykhailo Mudryk ahead of Saturday’s Premier League game between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield.

Chelsea signed the 22 year old Ukraine international from Shakhtar Donetsk this week for €100million.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Klopp spoke highly of the Ukraine international winger.

Klopp said: “Good player, really good player. He played an incredible Champions League campaign with his former club. Speed, technique, goals; he combines a lot.

“Having him on one wing and, for example, Joao Felix on the other is interesting. Chelsea obviously sorts the problems differently to us, but let’s see.

“Joao Felix played two days after he arrived so we can probably expect him to play. That makes analysing a bit more difficult, but we know him [Mudryk]. We have watched him in the Champions League and he was impressive enough.”
