Klopp commends 'sensational talent' Kelleher
Jürgen Klopp commended Caoimhin Kelleher after the goalkeeper showcased his rich potential while making his senior Liverpool debut.
Kelleher was part of the Reds’ side that beat MK Dons 2-0 away in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, and the Republic of Ireland U21 international met the demands of first-team football with an assured display.
While performing confidently with his feet throughout, the 20-year-old also made a couple of excellent saves in the second half of the tie at Stadium MK - leading to praise from Klopp post-match.
“He’s a wonderful boy and a sensational talent. That’s how it is and the future is bright for him,” the boss told Liverpoolfc.com.
“He’s now growing, not growing size-wise but the muscles are coming step by step. [He’s] a very good footballer, very good with his feet.
“He’s just a very calm person, which helps as well as a goalie, so yeah, a big, big talent, like the others.”
