Jurgen Klopp has been urged to sign South
Korea goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo as a
replacement for Loris Karius by one of his
close advisors.
Liverpool are reportedly in the market for a
new first-choice goalkeeper and have been
heavily linked with Atletico Madrid’s Jan
Oblak and Roma’s Alisson. But Jorn
Andersen has revealed that he told Klopp via
a text message in December that he should
closely monitor Cho’s progress in South
Korea.
Cho was expected to be South Korea’s
back-up option at the World Cup this
summer but the 26-year-old ended up being
one of the tournament’s surprise stars as he
impressed in all three group games against
Germany, Mexico and Sweden.
Andersen, meanwhile, is a close friend of
Klopp following their time together as
players at Eintracht Frankfurt and still
remains in contact with the Liverpool
manager.
When he was in charge at Mainz, Klopp
signed Blaise Nkufo and Sven Christ after
personally asking Andersen for his
recommendations.
‘He has listened to me before, so it would be
nice if he does it again,’ Andersen said in
an interview with Dagbladet. ‘I am convinced
that Cho Hyun-woo will be a good choice for
Liverpool.
‘I do not think Klopp will continue with
Karius, I think Liverpool will pick up a new
goalkeeper after the World Cup.
‘Not only because of what happened in the
Champions League final, simply because he
must have someone who is better than he
has. ‘And I’m sitting with the feeling that
Cho can end up in Liverpool. He was very
good for South Korea in the three matches
he played at the World Cup.’
