“Did he really say it?” – Jurgen Klopp baffled by Todd Boehly’s Premier League All-Star plan

"He doesn’t hesitate, he doesn’t wait long!’ Klopp said at a press conference.

"Great. When he finds a date for that he can call me. He forgets that in the big sports in America, these sports have four-month breaks so they’re quite happy they can do a little bit of sport in these breaks. It’s completely different in football.

"Does he want to bring the Harlem Globetrotters as well and let them play a football team?

"I’m not sure people want to see that," added the German. ‘Imagine that, [Manchester] United, Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle players all on one team that’s not the national team, just a north team. Interesting game.

"All the London guys together. Arsenal, Tottenham. Great. Did he really say it? Interesting."
