Jurgen Klopp insists there will be more signings at Liverpool this summer

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has insisted that there will be more signings at Anfield this summer as he looks to build a team for the coming season. The Reds have already brought in Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton and Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig, but more midfielders are needed as James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have all left on free transfers, while Jordan Henderson is set to depart for Saudi Arabia.

There have been links with Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch and Crystal Palace’s Cheick Doucoure, but no deal appears to be close for any target. However, Klopp insists that the Reds will add more players before the transfer window closes.

Klopp’s Comments

Klopp told the We are Liverpool podcast: ‘There are so many things to do. The transfer window is open. If my day would have 28 hours at the moment it would not be a problem – I could fill them easily! With all the things you have to do left and right, my main focus and energy has to go into the training sessions then that’s what I do. Then either side of the sessions I can try to help with other stuff.

‘Still three-and-a-half weeks until the first game of the season. A few things have to happen before then, definitely, transfer market-wise as well. That is clear now. And it will happen. New players have to come in. We will have a good team.’

Who Could Liverpool Sign?

The Reds have already made two signings this summer in Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, but more midfielders are needed as James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have all left on free transfers, while Jordan Henderson is set to depart for Saudi Arabia. There have been links with the likes of Southampton’s Romeo Lavia, Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch and Crystal Palace’s Cheick Doucoure, although no deal appears to be close for any target.

Conclusion

Klopp is clearly keen to get more players through the door at Anfield this summer and it looks like he will need to act quickly if he is to build a team capable of challenging for the Premier League title. With just three-and-a-half weeks until the start of the season, time is running out for the Reds to make their moves in the transfer market.
