Jurgen Klopp Announces Wilson Padel Range
Today Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp announced a new partnership with Wilson padel, which represents more excellent exposure for padel in the UK. It is already known that Jurgen is a padel enthusiast, but this partnership brings more exposure to the sport.
Wilson x Klopp is a new range of padel equipment endorsed by Klopp, who regularly plays at Liverpool FC's new training ground.
"Padel is, besides football, the best game I've ever played. I've only known it in the last five years or so, but since then, I'm really addicted to it. You make big steps in a short period of time. It's really fun to play." said Jurgen Klopp
