Liverpool boss Klopp on transfer work: I don't care what others do

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists he's happy with the squad as it is.

The Reds have brought in youngsters Harvey Elliott and Sepp van den Berg while goalkeeper Adrian has arrived as back-up to Alisson.

"You should never do transfers because other clubs are doing transfers. That makes no sense, it's not about that," Klopp told Sky Sports.

"And if you sit back for a second and have a look at the squad, do we need more players? People will say, yes, we need a substitute for Sadio Mane, for Mohamed Salah, whatever.

"But those players are here. So, do you get a one-for-one replacement? A big signing?

"People think that players from other clubs, other countries, are better than the players we have here but without really having the proof, because those players haven't played here, or whatever else.

"It's just that what is new is seen as more exciting. It's like with a new car. Your old car is completely reliable, but you want a new one and two weeks later it breaks down. It looks better, but obviously it's not that good."
