Liverpool boss Klopp rates Everton's summer signings

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits that Merseyside rivals Everton have made some impressive signings in the transfer window.

The Toffees have spent huge money on the likes of Jordan Pickford, Sandro Ramirez, Davy Klaassen, Michael Keane and Wayne Rooney while Romelu Lukaku has departed to Man Utd.

When asked about Everton's business, Klopp said: "First of all, I'm not interested in what other clubs are doing until we play them. So, they can make the best business or the worst business, I'm not in it. I'm completely fine.

"Yes, I heard, of course a few things that they have done. Strikers, good. Wayne Rooney, you don't have to talk about. The centre-half came. Good. So a lot of really good business. Klaassen, good. It's all good.

"But, at the end of the day, just like us, they can only line up eleven players. Then we have to see what will happen. But all the teams have tried to get stronger.

"With Everton, usually derbies are really close games.

"Don't think we have gone into any of the last few derbies thinking, 'It's only Everton.' No. There is a lot of respect and if they've done good business, well done. But when we face them we still want to win."
