Kabak Has What It Takes To Be Successful At Anfield- Sven Mislintat

Liverpool has signed a Lovren-type player in Ozan Kabak, Sven Mislintat has said. Sven recently revealed that the signing is a definitely a big deal for the reigning Premier League champions this January.

According to him, he already told Klopp that Kabak is a top player who has a top mentality and character, so he expects LFC’s defence to improve.

He added that even if the defender still has a lot to learn in the game, he surely has the skills to be successful at Anfield.

His words, “I told Jurgen that he’s a top lad.”

“Top mentality, top character, top aggression. He’s a Lovren-type player. Very good in the air, both defensively and in the opposition box.”

“He played his best stuff for us [at Stuttgart]. He hasn’t been able to show how good he is at Schalke. He still needs to learn but he has all the skills for Klopp to make a success of him.”

“He hasn’t quite been himself lately. Him spitting at an opponent was completely out of character for him.”

“There was no way Schalke could stop him from going to Liverpool now. If they had refused him a big transfer for a second time, they would have killed him as a player. They knew they had to let him go now.”

“David Wagner would have given him a glowing report. He’s not super fast, but he’s very strong and resilient, switched on. He can play football, he wants to win every ball and he’s great in the air.”

“I’d be surprised if he didn’t score a couple of goals from set pieces. He will benefit from a bit of guidance by more experienced players and from Klopp, who tends to improve every player.”

“We shouldn’t forget that he’s still young but getting him in on an initial loan is a superb deal for Liverpool.”

“He will try absolutely everything to make it a permanent deal. I’m pretty sure he’ll make it. He’s got the quality to become an international top-class centre-back.”
