The current sporting director at Stuttgart told The Athletic: “I told Jurgen that he’s a top lad.
“Top mentality, top character, top aggression. He’s a [Dejan] Lovren-type player. Very good in the air, both defensively and in the opposition box.”
Liverpool agreed to pay a £1million loan fee for Kabak, with a further £500,000 promised after a certain number of appearances have been made.
