The Reds have not been awarded a spot kick for 32 league games - a run stretching 11 months. Klopp was left amused by that revelation. Roberto Firmino is heading for the Liverpool exit door after eight years with the club. The Brazilian has been a key player under Klopp, winning nearly every top-level trophy possible with the Reds.

Competition looks tough and he might need an exceptional pre-season in order to convince Klopp that he is the way to go. Certainly an option in that role, he may have to do the business pretty much immediately if he is to make the job his own from next season. The 20-year-old was deployed as a number 10 for the West London side, acting as a link man to lethal strikers like Aleksandar Mitrovic.
