Summary

Matt Addison picks up the phone to Jan Age Fjortoft for a special Blood Red podcast. The ex-Swindon Town, Middlesbrough and Sheffield United striker speaks to Jurgen Klopp throughout the season as part of his job as a TV pundit. And he explains what it’s like to question the Liverpool manager after matches – as well as giving the inside story of THAT ‘let’s talk about six, baby’ interview following last season’s Champions League final win in Madrid. Talk then turns to Real Madrid wonderkid, and fellow Norwegian, Martin Odegaard, who came close to joining Liverpool, the club he still supports, before moving to the Spanish capital. Fjortoft details how he helped Odegaard make his decision and answers whether he sees the 21-year-old midfielder pulling on the Red shirt one day. Fjortoft also discusses another Norwegian prodigy, 19-year-old Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland, who is also being tipped to move to Anfield in the future. Fjortoft covers the Bundesliga as part of the job he does today and so Matt gets his opinion on three players who have been extensively linked to Liverpool – Timo Werner, Jadon Sancho and Kai Havertz. The podcast was recorded before Chelsea moved ahead of the Reds in the race to sign Werner – but it still makes for very interesting listening indeed. Enjoy. The Liverpool Echo sends a twice-daily Liverpool FC bulletin out via email with the all latest news, views and analysis from Anfield.
