Klopp: Transfer targets now more excited when Liverpool call

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits the club is becoming more attractive to star players across Europe.

Klopp discussed the development when talking about their deal for RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita yesterday.

He said: “All the players we were allowed to speak to were really positive. It was very clear the image has changed a little bit.

“Last year it was already very good but now we can say we are in the Champions League, but it didn't feel it was about this, it is more about the project.

“For example, Naby has no idea if we play Champions League next year because in England it is always difficult (to qualify).

“He did not ask one second about this. He wanted to be part of the club.

“With Ox it was quite similar. He wants to develop and with all his talent and skills he has space to develop."
