Klopp's "future" statement and telling message after Liverpool's Brighton draw

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has claimed Brighton manager Graham Potter "should not worry about his future" after the Seagulls drew 2-2 with the Reds at Anfield.

Potter's Brighton fought back from 2-0 down to make the trip back down to the south coast with a point secured, after goals from Enock Mwepu and Lenadro Trossard cancelled out strikes from Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane.

Given Liverpool enjoyed a 2-0 lead in the opening 25 minutes, many sides would have shut up shop and taken the 'damage limitation' approach, but Brighton fought back to earn their point.

Following the full-time whistle, Klopp was full of praise for his counterpart - a man widely regarded as the most promising British boss around.

When pressed on whether Potter could coach at the highest level, Klopp explained: "He definitely has all you need.

"He obviously has a clear idea about football and he is doing a brilliant job.

"He has brought a clear identity to how he wants his teams to play. He is an innovator and is adventurous."

Klopp went on to reveal how Potter should harbour no fears over his future as a manager, implying he could soon find himself in a job bigger than the Amex hot-seat.

"He is an absolutely nice fella and his team mirrors his ability.

"I don't want to talk the coach of Brighton away to some other clubs, but I think he should not worry about his future."

Would Potter be a good appointment for the vacant Spurs job? Choose below

Klopp's comments come at a frustrating time for the Brighton hierarchy - given he has talked up Potter just as the Tottenham managerial role becomes vacant.

Nuno Espirito Santo has been sacked after just 17 games at the Spurs helm, sparking speculation as to how who becomes his successor.

Former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte appears to be the favourite, but should a deal for the Italian collapse for a second time - Potter is likely to be a name thrown into the mix.

Should Conte get the Spurs job, Potter is likely to be linked with any big-six role that becomes available - such is his reputation at the moment after impressing with the Seagulls.

Klopp described Potter's side's style of play as "front-foot football" while singling out the "adventure" in Brighton's approach.

Many have cited a lack of 'elite' manager's in circulation at the moment, while England have not produced a Premier League winning boss since the league's inception, but Potter may well have what it takes - at least, according to Klopp.
