Jurgen Klopp issues more praise for Arsenal ace in new set of comments

Jurgen Klopp has doubled down on his praise for Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli with him talking about the forward ahead of Liverpool's clash with Crystal Palace this weekend.

Clearly, though, the forward has left an impression on Klopp.
