Liverpool boss Klopp: Any new signing must know we expect more

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has revealed how he insists any new addition must agree to club rules.

Klopp has spoken about how he and new players have “agreements" in place when they arrive, and he is not afraid to confront a player if they do not stick to the deal.

“When we have this agreement, everything was fine, everything was good, that's why we talked, that's why we signed you, but from now on I expect much more," Klopp told Liverpool's club media about the conversations he has with new signings.

“For that, he gets more than he ever got before; more attention, more education, hopefully better training – that's a clear agreement.

“If he is not happy with one of these parts, he can come to me and tell me, 'you told me that, it didn't happen'.

“If I am not happy with one of the things he agreed, I will go to him and tell him: 'you said this and that, you didn't do that – why?'

“This is a clear deal, but a handshake deal, not written down."
