Two world stars snapped at Liverpool training ground: Both were wearing club shirts

But before Kop fans get too excited, they aren't new Jurgen Klopp signings.

Instead, they are two big names from the world of American football.

Jarvis Landry and Kirk Cousins, who play for Miami Dolphins and Washington Redskins respectively, were in town to meet Divock Origi as part of the NFL UK Live Tour.

Origi spoke with the pair about his new found love of the NFL, what position he would be most suited to and how Klopp's tactics compared to the NFL. 

The NFL aces also met Philippe Coutinho, who looked adept in throwing around the oval-shaped ball!

Origi joked: "Philippe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson are the two players most like a quarterback at Liverpool.

"If there was a wide receiver that’d be me. Pace, strength and finishing skills!

"We have a lot of tactics at Liverpool, but I think the NFL have even more. They study tactics a little bit differently.

"Klopp focuses a lot on tactics, it’s important of course. But in this game he puts an accent on playing on our intuition and just enjoying the game. You have to have a good mix."

Asked which team-mate he'd like to avoid in the NFL, he said: "If there was one player I wouldn’t want to be tackled by, it’d be Dejan Lovren. He’s very aggressive and makes some dangerous tackles. 

"What I love about the NFL is the aggression, the passion. Americans really love their sport and NFL is special to watch."

Origi also arranged to meet up with Landry in Miami later this summer ahead of the NFL season kicking-off in September.
