Before the trip to West Ham on Wednesday (8:45 p.m.), Jrgen Klopp highlighted the return to form of his striker Diogo Whom (26 years, 21 games and 4 goals in all competitions this season). After the last few months marred by injuries, the Portuguese is coming back well and scored twice in the last two games won by the Reds against Leeds (6-1) and Nottingham Forest (3-2).
“He is an exceptional player, assured the coach of the Mersey club at a press conference. Since he joined us, he has done exceptional things for us. He is a very intelligent player. He can different positions. He has some very interesting skills for an attacking player. He’s not the biggest, but he’s an extreme threat in the air. His timing is excellent, he can finish with both feet, which is extremely useful. He has speed… It’s a whole thing.”
“His only problem is that he got injured this season, otherwise he wouldn’t have scored just four goals, judges the German. But when you’re injured for so long, you need rhythm to come back and that’s the most difficult thing, because the season is going on and nobody’s going to wait for you. That’s why it’s really cool that he was able to score those goals and for us all those goals were obviously very important. “
