Klopp believes Liverpool's forwards are already feeling the impact of new arrival Alexis Mac Allister - as he explained Jorg Schmadtke's reaction to seeing the Reds squad for the first time.
The duo made their first outings in Wednesday's 4-2 friendly win at Karlsruhe SC when Mac Allister provided an assist with a throughball for Diogo Jota
while highlighting what each new signing can bring to the squad, Klopp acknowledges the creativity of the 24-year-old is offering huge encouragement to the Liverpool attack.

"The best thing you can do as a new player is to not talk a lot and let your legs speak,"
"They are completely different players but it's really nice to have them. Dom's physique is just impressive, I've watched him on television and he's grown in the last two years. A real athlete. Quick, technically really good, good overview, between the lines good.
"Then you have Alexis who calms pretty much everything down in the best football way, has a super eye for situations. All the offensive players are like 'oh my God' and licking their fingers for a pass from him. We are absolutely happy with the two boys.
"The best thing about this group, no matter how the group changed over the years, it stayed a super open group. I've never had an easier team to come into than these boys, and you can see that helps the new boys obviously."
Klopp added:
Jorg Schmadtke is here," said Klopp on the 'We are Liverpool' podcast. "He saw a lot of football over the years, and he is really impressed by the quality and the intensity of the training sessions. For us who are always around, I can see the difference, I can see what's really bad and really good, but I expect a lot.
"But him, who hasn't been here long, it's nice to have this outside view now (saying) 'My God, that's really good, that's real quality, the young kids are really good'. It was from the first day like this. We started (pre-season) with four senior players and the rest kids, and they did really well.
"You can see they grow in a year massively. Bobby Clark looks nearly like a man now, he's 18. Ben Doak is still 17 but it's just a joy a watch, with all the little struggles he has with losing the ball here and there, but the bravery and the speed and power, it's so cool to see. Conor Bradley obviously grew a lot in the last year. Mel Frauendorf is just a wonderful kid to have around, and there are a few other boys as well. I like that part of pre-season very much."
