Trending
In his impressive managerial career, the German manager has been blessed to work with some wonderful forward players. Without further ado, let's take a look at the best of them.
Note: All stats are as per Transfermarkt
#5 Jakub Blaszczykowski (Borussia Dortmund)
Klopp made a great impression when he was the manager of Borussia Dortmund. Of the wide range of forwards he had there, Jakub Blaszczykowski was one of his most effective players.
The Polish winger, with his incredible pace and creative abilities, was quite brutal on the counter-attack. His work-rate pretty much suited Klopp's style of football. Blaszczykowski made 225 appearances under the German manager, all of which came at Borussia Dortmund.
With 31 goals and 48 assists to his name, the Polishman won two Bundesliga titles with Dortmund under Klopp. Blaszczykowski was named the Polish Footballer of the Year in 2008 and 2010 while playing under the German.
#4 Roberto Firmino (Liverpool)
Not many were aware of Roberto Firmino's talent when he arrived at Liverpool in the summer of 2015 from Hoffenheim. Capable of playing in multiple positions, the Brazilian is a very smart figure on the pitch.
Under Klopp's management, the 30-year-old attacker has grown into an amazing player. Using his intellect, anticipation and fine goal-scoring abilities, Firmino has been of utmost help at Liverpool. He has made 312 appearances for Liverpool since joining the club.
So far, Firmino has scored 94 goals and registered 73 assists under Klopp's reign. His contributions have been much more than just goals as he remains a valuable player for the Reds.
#3 Sadio Mane (Liverpool)
Jurgen Klopp loves pacey forwards as he tries to exploit opposition defenders time and again. In the search for one such forward, he found Sadio Mane playing for Southampton in the Premier League.
The Senegalese was signed in the summer of 2016 by Klopp and was an instant success with the Reds. With his amazing dribbling skills, quick footwork and superb goal-scoring abilities, Mane has been a star at Liverpool.
He has played 244 games under Klopp and has managed to score 107 goals and register 44 assists. His best time came in the 2018-19 season when he won the Premier League Golden Boot, scoring 22 league goals. Mane's performances have been critical to Liverpool's success and will be for the remainder of the 2021-22 season.
#2 Robert Lewandowski (Borussia Dortmund)
Klopp pulled off a masterclass at Borussia Dortmund when he signed Robert Lewandowski in 2010 from Polish club Lech Poznan. Not many knew back then how brutal the Polishman could be in front of goal.
Since then, Lewandowski has been among the goals on a regular basis. His amazing instincts and brilliant positioning combined with his clinical finishing made him a deadly striker. He played 186 matches under Jurgen Klopp, scoring 102 goals and registering 42 assists.
Lewandowski won the Bundesliga twice with Borussia Dortmund under Klopp before deciding to sign for Bayern Munich in 2014. It would have been very disappointing for the German manager then, having lost his star striker on a free to their arch rivals.
#1 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
The transition of Mohamed Salah from being an average player to becoming a world-class footballer has come under Klopp. Ever since joining the Reds in 2017 from AS Roma, he has been an absolute beast in the attack.
With Liverpool's attacking game-style, Salah has benefitted immensely and been a regular figure in the goal-scoring charts. The Egyptian winger has so far played 229 matches under Klopp. He has been devastating for any opposition with his mind-boggling dribbling and goal contributions.
He has so far scored 148 goals and registered 59 assists under Klopp. With Salah being in sensational form this season, it is only right that the German manager receives massive credit for it. The Egyptian has a strong chance of winning the Ballon d'Or this year.
