Jurgen Klopp heaps praise on former West Ham player
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on the Atalanta striker Gianluca Scamacca.
The Italian was outstanding against Liverpool in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals and Klopp believes that he was a quality player during his time at West Ham as well.
Scamacca has been outstanding for Atalanta this season scoring 14 goals in all competitions. However, he was underwhelming for West Ham and he managed to score just 8 goals for them before leaving the club in a £27 million deal.
Liverpool must contain Scamacca in the second leg
It seems that the Italian was struggling to adapt to English football during his time at West Ham but he has shown his quality with Atalanta this season.
Liverpool will have to keep him quiet if they want to get through to the next round of the competition in the second leg of the competition.
The Italian outfit managed to win the first leg 3-0 and Scamacca scored a brace at Anfield. He will be hoping to pile further misery on the Liverpool defence when the two sides meet later today.
