Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: We're interested in a lot of players around the world

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is coy over the progress of their transfer plans.

Klopp was handed a transfer budget in excess of £200 million after taking the Reds back into the European elite – but his only recruits have been Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and free transfer Dominic Solanke.

“There is nothing I can say that will help, so why should I say anything?" Klopp told the Mirror.

“We are interested in a lot of players around the world, as you can imagine, but at this moment I am working with the players I already have.

“That's my job in the first place. I don't go into training thinking 'oh my God, is it still them?' Nobody thinks anymore about the development and improvement of the players you already have.

“It's all about signings. It's all about the transfer market. I understand that's an important part of the year, but if you can't do the first job then you would have a real problem.

“I am fine so far. We are still looking, of course, but I think we can play better football than last season with the team we already have.

“We were fourth last year. Maybe this year we can be third. But what I do know is that we can play better football. We need a change here and there – and those things will happen – but it's not the main thing to do.

“The main job is to work with the players I already have."
