Klopp Sets £60 Million Price Tag On Abraham And Mount
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists both Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount are worth selling for £60 million each per their performances.
With the duo impressing at Chelsea, Klopp is left amazed with their outputs and believes the lads are already in the £60 million price tag category.
"It's a really exciting team. It reminds me a bit of my team at Dortmund years back, when they were really young – even younger than this team now at Chelsea," he said.
"People talked about how young they were but they only played because they were that good, not because they were that young.
"They brought in Christian Pulisic in the summer for 50-or-60million and all the players around him have the same value.
"Tammy Abraham is now a 60million player, Mason Mount for sure 60million - if not more, [Callum] Hudson-Odoi was [worth] that already.
"If there is one club in the world who a transfer ban didn't hit that bad, it was probably Chelsea because of the transfer policy they did in the last few years with all these high-quality players out there on loan," he said.
"Tammy Abraham scored 20-something goals last year. It's not that he learnt where the goal is at Chelsea, he found it in different places already.
"They are a proper contender for pretty much everything."
Being called back from their loan spells with Aston Villa and Derby County, Abraham and Mount separately, have been successful with the side, who is currently serving a transfer ban.
After five Premier League games, Abraham has scored 7 goals while Mount has also recorded 3 goals.
Returning from a defeat in the Champions League to Valencia and Napoli, Chelsea and Liverpool respectively will hope to return to winning ways on Sunday’s crunchy fixture at the Stamford Bridge.
