Klopp said "Many players has shown it's easy to struggle at Chelsea Kelvin De Bruyne is one other them. The only thing we ignore is what he did at Chelsea.

"We played against him when he was in Basel and we didn't know him. We played with Dortmund against him and when I was watching he was unbelievable! The moment I said "Let's go for him" he was already at Chelsea and then he struggled at Chelsea because it was too early.

'Then he went to Florentina and then Roma the question is what did you not see in him' because he plays all inclusive football. He was quick,  he played a lot of games, he create goals, chances and also score by himself.

'He was involved in pretty much or everything for Eypty at the African cup of nations.'
