Georginio Wijnaldum believes Jurgen Klopp is "building something special" at Liverpool after a positive start to the Premier League season.

The Anfield side have already beaten champions Leicester, both Arsenal and Chelsea away from home and have taken a point from Tottenham at White Hart Lane, with a defeat at Burnley their only blip so far.

Netherlands international Wijnaldum says he felt at home at Liverpool immediately and is keen to open his goalscoring account for his new side after his summer move from Newcastle.
