Jurgen Klopp has boldly claimed that Fulham have one of the greatest players in Premier League history ahead of Liverpool’s clash with the Cottagers this weekend.<\/p>\n
Fulham travel to Anfield on Sunday to face the Reds, who sit third in the Premier League, and know that a win could see them go top if results elsewhere go their way.<\/p>\n
The Cottagers, on the other hand, have had a tougher start to the season but their 3-2 win over Wolves last time out has seen them climb to 14th as they look to push on with a huge upset over Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Klopp is not underestimating Marco Silva’s side, as he has had high praise for his opponents going into the match on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the press ahead of the game, Klopp heaped praise on Silva and several of his players, labelling one as ‘one of the greatest the Premier League ever saw’.<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018Marco is a top manager, he\u2019s doing a brilliant job in a strong league, I\u2019m not saying they are overachieving but they are doing particularly well and it\u2019s a really good football team.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s just a good football team, well set up and it makes it special, and their little stadium there, they can create a proper atmosphere and we\u2019ve had our struggles there.’<\/p>\n
Klopp then went on to hail former Chelsea star Willian as one of the best players in Premier League history.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018With [Raul] Jimenez up front, [Carlos] Vinicius, and then one of the greatest, the little curly one [Willian], one of the greatest the Premier League ever saw, who is still going and going and going and [Andreas] Pereira.’<\/p>\n
Klopp has previously held interest in signing the Premier League winger as it was reported that Liverpool held shock talks with Willian when he left Chelsea.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian ended up spending a fairly unsuccessful season at Arsenal before moving back to his home country.<\/p>\n
However, since returning to London with Fulham he has shown his quality and while Klopp’s\u00a0 comments may be a bit extreme, Willian has proven himself to be a great Premier League player.\u00a0<\/p>\n
