The Polish striker played under Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund and believes the lack of European football will be a huge benefit for Liverpool.
“Under Klopp I think they will be fighting for the title this season,” he said.
“Pep and Manchester City will not make it easy for anybody to win the title, but Liverpool have a real chance.
“Without European football it can really help them with being fresh for games and with injuries and, even though Klopp is always smiling, he is ruthless enough to take advantage of that.”
“I have watched some Liverpool games since the arrival of Klopp, and you can see that the players are enjoying playing for him,” he said.
“As a player you know that he totally has your back, he is like a father figure and, because you have that trust in him as a player, it makes you totally open to his methods and his ideas which, in the long term, you always see are for the benefit of your game and for the team.”
