The Liverpool boss was impressed with the forward during Scotland's Euro 2016 qualifier against Germany

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has highlighted the threat of Norwich new-boy Steven Naismith ahead of his side's clash with the Canaries on Saturday.

Naismith left Everton for Carrow Road earlier this month and Klopp revealed he was impressed with the forward during Scotland's Euro 2016 qualifier with Germany.

"Steven Naismith is a really good player," he said. "I saw him live for Scotland and was really impressed. He's a danger."

Klopp is also familiar with another of Norwich's January signings, Timm Klose, who joined the club from Wolfsburg.

"They have had some problems in defence, less in offence," he said. "They are creative and quick, but they conceded easy goals. Now they have Klose who's a good player, I know him.

"We are the first team who have to play [against] their new team.

Klopp opted to use several young players during his sides FA Cup third round replay against Exexter, which saw 18-year-old Sheyi Ojo score in a 3-0 win.


Nevertheless, the former Borussia Dortmund coach says he will continue to use youngsters sparingly in the Premier League.

"I'm really patient with these guys. If they work hard, they can improve," he added.

"You always see skills and moments, but a game is 90 minutes. We have to help them be prepared. We will not forget them for helping us. But go back and work, that's it.

"Most of the time we have had to fight for a result in the last 20 minutes, so it's not the best time for a young player to come in.

"I understand why you ask about this but [we're talking about] 17 or 18 year-old players who have a 17-year career.

"If they are good enough, cool, they were good enough for the game [against Exeter] and you could see that. Then they have to work further."
