Liverpool veteran James Milner is backing Jurgen Klopp to carry on his transfer plans.

Mohamed Salah's arrival adds to the attacking options at Klopp's disposal for 2017-18 – and Milner welcomed the boost to the squad given the demands ahead.

“Liverpool is a top club, we're a good squad of players and you're going to attract top players. That's what you want – the best players in and around the squad to push each other," the Englishman told liverpoolfc.com.

“The bigger the squad of top players you have, the more successful you're going to be. The competition for places is exactly what you need all over the field."
