Liverpool hero Jan Molby says they were lucky to miss out on former Shakhtar Donetsk star Alex Teixeira.
Chinese Super League outfit Jiangsu Suning stunned football by snapping up the talented Brazilian for £38m.
Now ex-Denmark midfielder Molby has backed Klopp for not splashing the cash on a player who he claims lacks ambition.
He said: "He ended up in China, what does that say about the player's ambition?"
