After an up-and-down first season following his potential club-record move from Benfica the 24-year-old has found more consistency this season
Klopp
“He had absolutely more than (an) OK first season but he had to adapt, that’s done, and he is settled in the middle of the team,”
“Wonderful guy, wonderful boy. He loves to play for this team together with these boys and has quality coming out of his ears, to be honest.
“It’s like strikers are, they score and then they don’t score. Is he at his absolute peak in general? Not now for us. But can he develop? Yes. Is he a threat all the time? Yes.
“He has the most important attitude a striker needs to have; he missed chances but all strikers are doing that but he is not bothered by it and just keeps going.
“That’s why he now has a nice number of goals, games to come, opportunities to come.
“When he’s not scoring he for us is incredibly important as he is a constant threat and gives us spaces in areas and options.”
