Klopp admits Liverpool seeking defensive reinforcements

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he's shopping for defensive targets.

Klopp will start rebuilding the team from the back during the summer.

The Reds have dropped the most points from winning positions in the Premier League in the current campaign and it was a major factor in their inconsistency in his first few months in charge.

"When you build up a team, you start with the defence - that's how it is," said Klopp. "It keeps you in the game and gives you the opportunity to score once and win the game. I'm never happy with conceding goals, to be honest.

"It's clear it's how we build up a team and that's one of the biggest targets for the next season - not for the rest of this season but for next season and then to build up a stability in this part of the game."
