Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp described West Ham ace Robert Snodgrass as a wonderful player, when speaking to the Daily Record.
The 32-year-old joined the Hammers from Hull City in January 2017, for a fee believed to be worth £10.2 million, according to BBC Sport.
Snodgrass endured a difficult start to life at the London Stadium. And he was loaned out to Aston Villa for the 2017/18 campaign. He really impressed in the west Midlands.
The former Hull Man racked up eight goals and 13 assists in 43 appearances for Dean Smith’s side.
He returned to West Ham in the summer of 2018. And he proved to be a useful member of Manuel Pellegrini’s squad.
The 27-capped Scotland international has racked up four goals and 11 assists in 57 appearances in all competitions for West Ham. And with Michail Antonio out for the long-term, he will have a key role to play over the next few months.
Snodgrass has genuinely top class ability. And that notion is backed up by Jurgen Klopp’s recent remarks.
The Liverpool boss offered high words of praise for the West Ham winger, when speaking about the quality of the Scotland squad to the Daily Record:
“John McGinn, what a super player he is. Robert Snodgrass, a wonderful player. Scott McTominay has great potential. So let them play. Let the manager have time to create a style of play, a Scottish style.”
Snodgrass is undoubtedly a top class player when he’s on form. He needs to find more consistency for West Ham, however.
Unfortunately for him, he is currently not starting regular games for the Hammers.
If he is as good as Klopp says he is, however, he should force his way back into the first-team starting XI sooner rather than later.
