On Tuesday, May 10, the Reds defeated Aston Villa 2-1 at Villa Park in the Premier League. Klopp stated after the game (via the Evening Standard):

“How much better does he make them? A lot! Unfortunately he’s a really good signing. He is a beast. Unfortunately a really good signing.”

In 88 games for Borussia Dortmund in all competitions, the Norwegian has 85 goals and 23 assists. As a result, it’s no surprise that Klopp dubbed him a “beast.”

City has already surpassed Liverpool as the league’s joint top scorer this season, with 89 goals in less games. It will be fascinating to see if Haaland can add to these totals as projected.
