Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes that Georginio Wijnaldum scoring goals is the cherry on the top of a superb signing.
The summer signing from Newcastle contributed with his fifth goal of the season against Burnley as Jurgen Klopp's side came from behind to register a 2-1 victory on Sunday.
The former Germany international is happy to witness the Dutch international play and insists that Wijnaldum and his midfield team-mates' goals have eased the pressure on the strikers, who can now play freely without worrying too much about taking the goalscoring responsibility all by themselves.
As a matter of fact Hamann feels that the trend is something the Reds have missed since the departure of Steven Gerrard and now that Wijnaldum and his other team-mates have taken up the role, it is a promising sign for the team as a whole.
"Since Gerrard left, we lacked goals sometimes from midfield", Hamann told Liverpool's official website.

"The more players scoring goals, the more it takes pressure off the front three – they can't always do it on their own.
"For the short time he's been here, I think he's been a brilliant buy and I think he'll only get better.
"He's got a lot of energy, he can win a ball, I think he's got very good vision, he's a good passer of the ball.
"So I think his all-round game is very good, and obviously the goals [are] the icing on the cake."
Liverpool next play Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
