Pace, power, teamwork, discipline and players fighting for each other.
As a manager, he's a curious hybrid of George Graham and Arsene Wenger. He insists on his teams playing with pace, skill and power and indulges his flair players, but also insists on tactical discipline, teamwork and huge physical effort.
Dortmund are imploding right now through a combination of limited resources, Bayern stealing (ahem, 'signing') all their best players, injuries and bad luck, but what Klopp did in taking a club on the verge of bankruptcy, a threadbare squad and no financial resources to compete on transfers and then lead them to back-to-back Bundesliga titles is nothing short of miraculous.
Klopp is also a developmental manager that works well with young talents and can compete on lower transfer budgets than his rivals. He's tailor-made for Arsenal.
He'd also be guaranteed to wipe the smug smile off Mourinho's face.

They're in the relegation zone i think, poor management or are we blaming the players on this one?
Not to mention competing with a club even richer than us that can distort (code for 'poison') fair competition in the league they play in.
Klopp is fighting Bayern with one hand tied behind his back.
With Arsenal he'd have far greater resources to compete.
They aren't 'fighting Bayern', they're in, like, 17th place.
injured, Subotic is struggling for form and fitness after a long-term injury, Piszczek sadly looks like a different player after long-term injury etc, etc.
Defensively they've collapsed, but offensively they've scored more than the fifth-placed team in the Bundesliga...
Durm, Sokratis, Hummels, Subotic, Schmelzer, Pisscheck, Ginter
vs.
Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Koscielny, Debuchy.
Come on, which group of players would you rather have?
"B-but they have had injuries!". Yeah, so have we.
albeit one is knocking on a bit and one is always injured but still midfielders who hold their position, amazing stuff.
