Dejan Lovren’s Kinder egg toy collection is pretty impressive

The Croatian has built up a small army of tiny plastic animals

I hope he didn’t eat all 72 of them himself.

Liverpool fans haven’t been too pleased with Dejan Lovren this season, with the £20m Croatian centre back looking a little less hard-as-nails than his form last season suggested.

And their fears that he’s just a big soft child at heart were probably confirmed recently, when he posted a photo on his Instagram account of his pretty impressive collection of Kinder egg toys.

Us folks at SportsJOE didn’t quite nail arithmetic back at school, but we’re counting the contents of 72 Kinder eggs here.

A quick visit to Google translate (you really didn’t think we spoke Croatian, did you?) says that the defender wasn’t too pleased at the fact that you have to spend 5 minutes assembling each toy nowadays. Although, going by his performances this season, we probably alrady knew his concentration levels weren’t great.

While playing with children’s toys doesn’t bode well for his reputation as a defensive rock, we certainly like Lovren a little more after seeing this.

We’re also hungry. I really hope there’s some Kinder chocolate in the shop next door…
