Klopp: Can Liverpool win title? Everything possible in the Premier League!

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists they're capable of winning the Premier League title next season.

Klopp is targeting further progress as he looks to assemble a squad strong enough to last the pace and challenge for honours.

"Can we win the title? I think the rules are that all teams are allowed to win the Premier League," Klopp told a press conference at the Grand Hyatt in Hong Kong.

"So obviously it then seems to be possible. What gives me that confidence? The rules! It's possible but that's it.

"The beauty of the Premier League is that no-one knows what will happen until the end of the season so it's possible for all of us. It's a nice idea.

"But saying it today and carrying it in our backpacks doesn't help that nice idea to come true.

"I'm really positive about next season. At the moment we just have to work, not dream. If some people want to dream then I don't want to stop this.

"But it's a long way to go. When Leicester became champions, if you had asked them that question at this time of year I'm not sure they would have said: 'Yes, I think we'll be champions next season.' But they were and that was nice."
