Klopp Cautious Of Arsenal's Aubameyang

The Reds will be hosting Arsenal on Saturday.

And Klopp, who worked with the striker during their time at Borussia Dortmund talks of the capabilities of his former forward going into the top-of-the-table between the clubs at Anfield.

"Auba has actually no real weaknesses apart from his fashion style. I'm really glad it has worked out well for him, because I really like him," he told UK newspapers.

"I didn't think abut the Premier League when I signed him for Dortmund. He played as a winger at Saint-Etienne at that time, we needed a number nine because [Robert] Lewandowski left us.

"We thought long about it, then he came in and played on the wing and we played with [Ciro] Immobile as well.

"Later on we realised he is a really good central striker, a number nine, as well. It was not immediate like this, he developed incredibly and became a goal machine.

"I have to say his finishing is incredible. Combine that with the speed and it is really interesting," he said.

"He plays now on the wing in a 4-2-3-1 which means he has to defend too and he is ready for that. He is a really good player."

Both Klopp and Aubameyang spent two years together at the Signa Iduna Stadium as Klopp joined Liverpool in 2015 before Aubameyang also arrived at Arsenal in 2018.

Since Aubameyang arrived at Arsenal, he has had an impressive spell with the Gunners, scoring 43 goals in 67 games across all competitions for Arsenal.
