Former attacker turned pundit Paul Merson has praised Liverpool star Wataru Endo.
After a disappointing campaign last season, the Merseyside club decided to renovate their engine room last summer. They bought four new midfielders, but initially it seemed that they failed to strengthen their midfield position by signing a top player.
The Reds were strongly linked with first division proven stars like Moisés Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, but ultimately had to content themselves with signing the Japanese international as they were unable to buy their two main targets for Chelsea.
Endo even took a little time to adapt to his new surroundings, but now he has established himself as an integral part of Jurgen Kloppis the starting eleven, helping his team win the title.
Now, writing in sportskeedaMerson said he was impressed with the former Stuttgart star and that the midfielder has been a great acquisition for the Merseyside club.
The expert also states that Klopp has a great eye for detecting talent and bringing out the best in them. Merson also says that the German manager has rarely signed a player who hasn't worked at Liverpool, which is really impressive.

Merson wrote:
“Wataru Endo is a player who has impressed me a lot, what a signing he has been! Klopp very rarely gets transfers wrong, I don't remember looking at one of his signings over the years and saying “damn, that was a huge waste of money” which is a huge compliment to everyone working behind scene. .”
Meanwhile, after quickly overcoming the challenge of Sparta Praha in the European LeagueLiverpool will face manchester united in the FA Cup quarter-finals this weekend.
The Merseyside club will be a big favorite to win this match and secure their place in the semi-finals of this competition, considering the poor form of the Red Devils.
However, Liverpool were beaten by Ten Hag's side the last time they met at Old Trafford last season. Therefore, it may not be an easy game for the Reds, but they will be desperate to win this match to demolish their arch-rivals' last hope of winning a trophy this season.
