Kevin Prince-Boateng had a disappointing spell at Tottenham before he joined Borussia Dortmund on loan - but despite impressing manager Jurgen Klopp he was unable to earn a permanent move

Jurgen Klopp was reduced to tears as he informed Kevin Prince-Boateng he was unable to sign him permanently in an emotional phone call during their time at Borussia Dortmund.

"He was a very important figure in my career," Prince-Boateng told Rio Ferdinand's FIVE podcast . "It didn't work out. He called me personally and said we can't buy you, we don't have the money. We both cried on the phone. Like really cried. We had a very good relationship." During their brief time working together they struck up an instant rapport and Prince-Boateng hailed Klopp's exceptional man-management skills. "I said I will give my life for him. Every player would die for him on the pitch because he gives you that feeling of confidence, that feeling of love as well.
