Liverpool defender Joel Matip has lifted the lid on the Anfield dressing room.
Matip moved to Liverpool on a free transfer in the summer and has impressed under Jurgen Klopp.
He has settled into life on Merseyside with ease and struck a close bond with some of his teammates, reports the Liverpool Echo.
And in a tell-all interview, the Bochum-born star has spoken of his best friends on Merseyside, as well as the best tackler, best passer and worst dresser.
Special praise is reserved for Coutinho and Sturridge, however, who he labels ‘amazing’.

Best friend?
I have no special mate but I think the language always helps.
Dejan (Lovren), Loris (Karius), Emre (Can), Ragnar (Klavan).
I always come and speak to them, I try to improve my language, it will be better if people understand me but sometimes I’m not so sure.”

Funniest?
Dejan. He always has a funny joke or something like this, you can always laugh with him.
Most talented?
Daniel (Sturridge) and Coutinho.
If you see them with the ball you don’t have to say something, everybody knows they’re amazing.

Best hair?
I think Alberto (Moreno) speaks for itself. Always special. This one day he came with his blonde hair and I was like whoa.
Worst hair?
It’s going to be hard. Also Alberto!

Hardest player?
There’s a lot of hard players but also Dejan.

Kev Stewart. I don’t know where he gets the power but he can run the whole time and I think he’ll never stop.
Most likely to become TV pundit?
Henderson.
