Jurgen Klopp heaped praise on Ange Postecoglou ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Tottenham on Saturday.
Both clubs have yet to taste defeat in the Premier League this season, with only Man City and Arsenal equalling the achievement six games into the campaign.
Speaking to reporters at a press conference ahead of the clash, Klopp admitted that while he has yet to meet the former Celtic boss, that he seems to be a ‘top bloke’.
‘Tottenham are doing really well Ange seems to be a top bloke.
‘No [I’ve not met him] yet. But I’m looking forward to meeting him. I’m pretty sure everyone knew already when you saw Celtic playing in recent years.

‘What kind of coach he is and who he is as a coach coming out to Tottenham where I think they were all desperate for some offensive football and he’s delivering that obviously.
‘In a year where Harry Kane left the club, he’s doing extremely well. They’re a well set up team. It’s exciting to watch so yes, it will be a real test for both of us.’
Though Klopp was quick not to underestimate the challenge Spurs will pose his side, Liverpool possess an enviable record against the North London club in recent years.
In their last 21 encounters Premier League encounters with Spurs, the Reds have lost just once, and have never been defeated at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since its opening in 2019.
