LIVERPOOL’S BOSS Jurgen Klopp has revealed the thoughtful note that Brentford striker Ivan Toney sent him.

Jurgen Klopp revealed what Ivan Toney’s thoughtful message was 

Toney is at the centre of a transfer race between Premier League

Toney confirmed in the match programme that he was a Liverpool fan and went straight to the Kop manager after the game.

The two talked, and Klopp, who will leave Anfield at the end of the season, explained: “It was like I was smiling at him, because he’s obviously quite a handful and very difficult to play against – though I used a different word.”

“Am I correct in saying that he is a Liverpool fan and does not hide it?

“I’ll acknowledge it as well. We talked about it briefly, and he wished me luck with my future endeavours.

“A lot of people have mentioned it, including several players.

“It’s unnecessary, but it’s lovely to hear.

“No need to worry; I’ll find something, a place to watch the Premier League.

“It was a nice conversation.”

Toney is a prominent target for Premier League clubs in the upcoming transfer window, with Chelsea and Arsenal vying for the striker.

The Bees are presently demanding a sum in excess of £80 million for Toney, who has returned to scoring form after serving a gambling suspension.

Klopp stated that he had also spoken with a couple of Brentford players and considered them to be as enjoyable to talk to as they were difficult to play against.

The Liverpool manager added, “This is the strangest thing in football.”

“This is undoubtedly one of the finest teams and coaching staff you’ll encounter.

“When you play against them, you want to knock them down every five seconds because it’s so aggravating.

“Everything is put up to make you appear absolutely bad.

“But aside from that, it’s a fantastic club, and I enjoy everything about it. “Just don’t play them!”
