German star: This is why I want to play for Jurgen Klopp

LORIS KARIUS has hailed Jurgen Klopp as one of the greatest coaches in world football.

ARRIVAL: Loris Karius will challenge Simon Mignolet for a starting role

Karius, 22, will officially arrive from German outfit Mainz on July 1 after signing a five-year contract with the Reds.
The German has already taken the No.1 shirt at Anfield and has made no secret of his desire to displace Simon Mignolet from the starting XI.

Karius spoke with newspaper SportBild about his recent switch and revealed Klopp was a major factor in his decision.
He said: "He was a big factor, because he is one of the best coaches in the world and has shown how well he brings young players forward.
"But there is also the tradition of the club, the atmosphere, which is not so common in the world.

"And of course, such a transfer leaves you financially improved. All in all, it was the perfect total package."
The goalkeeper is Klopp's third signing since taking over in October, having secured deals in January for Schalke centre-back Joel Matip and Red Star Belgrade midfielder Marko Grujic to join this summer.
