Ahead of the summer transfer deadline, Jurgen Klopp explained why Liverpool does not need to sign any more players.

Jurgen Klopp elucidated why Liverpool will not be needing to sign any more players this summer leaving behind a troublesome last season.

At the moment, we can say that the German tactician has complete faith in his current roster. The Reds made a new signing with Ibrahima Konate coming in from RB Leipzig in the defence position. But in the process, they also had to wave goodbye to midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum who left for PSG.

As a matter of fact, many names have been revolving, and speculations around Anfield are being made. However, it looks like the return of injured players and some long-term renewals have ignited a new spark for Klopp.

Explaining to TV2, Klopp said: “It is summer and the transfer window is open, then everyone expects some player signings. We will see what happens. Let’s go through the squad. Do you want to buy a new full-back? A new goalkeeper? We already have good players there.”

“In midfield, we have players with a lot of experiences, such as Thiago, Fabinho, [Jordan] Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita. In addition, we have exciting young boys in Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones. In the attack, we have Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Xherdan Shaqiri, Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi.”

“I’ve definitely forgotten someone… If you want to buy such players, you have to spend a lot of money. We do not have to do that, because the players are already here.”

“You have to make changes from time to time, but then there must be room to do it. We do not want more players. If something happens somewhere, something can happen somewhere else, but it makes no sense to add more players.”
