Sky in Germany's Max Bielefeld:
"There are some question marks from English fans about Kabak but he's one of the most talented young centre-halves in the Bundesliga.
"Schalke have been in a state of crisis for a number of months so it's not been easy for Kabak, but he's really physical, good in the air and is really good in one-v-one situations.
"Jurgen Klopp has followed him for quite some time and they contacted the club last summer for a deal but it couldn't be reached back then. He's only 20 so he's got time to develop and I feel it's a good fit.
