Klopp added: "He's obviously a top professional and he really tries to add on things into his game. He is a top, top, top striker and with the numbers he had, not only scoring-wise but assisting-wise as well, it's big."

As well as Salah's new attribute, Klopp took the chance to discuss Luis Diaz's love of a long-range worldie.

"He had to play immediately because two boys were at the Africa Cup of Nations, so that helped him settle in," Klopp said of the January summer signing.

"That gave him immediate confidence. It's his quality, his talent, his skillset. He's a really good player. We knew it before and when you're really good it's easier to settle in.

"He has this special thing: He can score from outside the box, which for a striker is really important. He's very, very important for us."
