Kabak alsp received a glowing review from German journalist Guido Schafer who was a former team-mate of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp at Mainz.

“Kabak is a good player,” said Guido Schafer, a former team-mate of Klopp’s at Mainz and a journalist currently covering RB Leipzig, on an Under The Radar podcast from Blood Red ahead of Liverpool facing the German side.

“I saw him a lot times in the Bundesliga.

“He is very powerful and he has a good mentality. I think £18m is a good price for this player.
