JURGEN KLOPP sent Adebayo Akinfenwa a classy message over Whatsapp after he helped Wycombe secure a shock promotion to the Championship.
The man nicknamed “The Beast” is famously a massive Liverpool fan.

Akinfenwa was even fined for turning up to training in a Reds shirt after they won their first-ever Premier League title.
After helping Wycombe reach the Championship, he joked “only Jurgen Klopp can WhatsApp me now”.
After the win, a hyped-up Akinfenwa told Sky Sports: “Today we made the impossible possible.
“Four years ago I stood in front of you and I was technically unemployed.
“Let me tell you something, the only person that can hit me up on WhatsApp this time is Klopp, so we can celebrate together.
“I hope my story shows that the only opinion that matters is the opinion you have about yourself.
“I was lucky and blessed to find a manager and players who believed in me, so we are here today.
“I’ll say it for the people in the back: Wycombe’s in the Championship.”

Hilariously, Akinfenwa later tweeted a video proving that Klopp did actually Whatsapp him.
The Wycombe star captioned the post: “Are u crazyyyyyyy the man, the myth, the legend sent me a Whatsapp.
“Today can’t get any better. Thank you Klopp #YNWA#Beast20#BeastMode we did it #champHereWeCome.”
In the video, the Liverpool boss said: “Hello big man, congratulations!
“I watched the game, well I didn’t see the post-match interviews…
“But Hendo [Jordan Henderson] or one of my players told me that you want me to get in contact on WhatsApp, so here we go!
“Congratulations! In your life you’ve proven to be at least a Championship player.
“And now you’re there. Well done.
“Great, great victory… during these times I hope you celebrate appropriately.”
Another Liverpool star, Virgil van Dijk, later got in touch, too.
The Dutch defender tweeted: “What a guy. Congrats big man.”
Akinfenwa responded: “Bro bro u already know the tweet alone means a lot”.
