Jamie Redknapp: 'Jurgen Klopp is a perfect fit for Liverpool'

Jamie Redknapp believes that Jurgen Klopp would be "perfect" for Liverpool amid reports that the club are due to hold talks with the former Borussia Dortmund boss.

Jamie Redknapp has backed Jurgen Klopp to become the next Liverpool manager as he believes that the German would be a "perfect" appointment.

The former Borussia Dortmund boss is favourite to take the reins at Anfield after Brendan Rodgers was sacked three hours after Liverpool's 1-1 draw against Everton on Sunday.

Reports have claimed that the Merseyside club intend to open talks with Klopp this week, while ex-Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is also said to be a candidate.

"I think that Jurgen Klopp has that aura about him," Redknapp told Sky Sports News. "He has that special something that some managers have. I think he could walk into Anfield and the fans would like that. I've got a feeling that he would be the perfect fit for them. The fact that he's available now makes me think they'll go for Klopp.

"Obviously he'll want to bring his own staff in. It's difficult because you do need someone who understands the club and knows the fabric of how the club works, but I would certainly look at Jurgen Klopp.

"The fact they've done it when there are lots of other clubs struggling and looking at managers, makes me feel that it might happen. I think he would be a great signing for them, I really do."

Liverpool are said to be keen to make an appointment before the team's next Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur on October 17.
