Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has spoken of his love for Wataru Endo, following the 2-0 win at home to Newcastle United.
The Reds cruised to victory over the Magpies on Wednesday, on a night that saw them go 13 points ahead of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.
There were standout performers, from Dominik Szoboszlai to Mohamed Salah, and Endo enjoyed a late cameo, as has often been the case this season.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Slot showed his appreciation for the 32-year-old, explaining what it is that he admires about him.
He has completed 93.8% of his passes across 13 Premier League substitute appearances this season, as well as averaging two tackles per game in the EFL Cup, highlighting his quality both on and off the ball.
