Can has scored five goals in the Premier League this campaign, the pick of which was a spectacular bicycle kick to seal a 1-0 victory at Watford on Monday.

Klopp told reporters on Friday: "It's no secret how much I like Emre. And he likes the club. We're in talks, there is no pressure, all is good.

"I am quite positive. Keeping good players makes sense and Emre is a good player.
