Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has commended the Hammers after Declan Rice’s departure to Arsenal, and has praised two of the Hammers stars.
He specifically pointed out James Ward-Prowse and Lucas Paqueta, praising them in a recent press conference.
The duo have made a magnificent start to the Hammers season and Klopp wasn’t slow to say so.
“We face some extremely strong opponents and West Ham is one of them,” Klopp said.
“It’s a really exciting project (at West Ham) and I’m happy for David that he really could build this team now over a few years. And even with Declan Rice out, they look really, really good I have to say.
“Ward-Prowse is a super signing, Paqueta is not a new signing but is a super player and with all the other guys they had already, they look really solid and that makes it pretty tricky…
“It’s a really good project, I cannot say differently. But we play them and we want to beat them.”
