Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp praised Conor Bradley following Liverpool’s 4-0 win against LASK in the Europa League, labeling the defender as a ‘genuine talent.’
The comprehensive victory propelled Liverpool to the top of Group E, securing their place in the competition’s last 16 after Toulouse’s slip-up. Bradley, the Northern Ireland international, made his European debut as a late substitute after spending four months sidelined, earning acclaim from Klopp for his performance.
Liverpool has been linked with acquiring a new right-back, potentially allowing Trent Alexander-Arnold to transition permanently into central midfield. Reports have suggested Leeds’ rising talent Archie Gray and Bayer Leverkusen’s standout wing-back Jeremie Frimpong as potential targets. However, Klopp’s recent comments about Bradley suggest a cost-saving prospect for the club.
“His few moments on the field showed he’s a valuable asset for us,” Klopp stated to TNT Sports. “We have high hopes for him. It’s delightful to witness. While he possesses great football intelligence, physical growth is still needed.”
Regarding the team’s overall performance, Klopp emphasized the importance of leading the group while acknowledging areas for improvement.
“We still have room to improve and evolve. There were positive aspects, but the game should have been settled by halftime,” Klopp remarked. “At 2-0 and 3-0, we opened up, providing opportunities. It’s great to secure a 4-0 win.”
Klopp also praised young center-back Jarell Quansah for his stellar performance, expressing contentment with Quansah’s development and potential contributions to the team’s defensive solidity.
Liverpool’s next fixture is a home clash in the Premier League against Fulham on Sunday.
