#4 Klopp might sign another player

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has stated that while he is very happy with the players he has at his disposal, he is willing to add another player in a position that needs it.

However, Klopp also claimed that he is not overly pressurized to make the signing because there are solutions for any potential problems.

"I'm happy with the team, we are really happy," said Klopp.
"We have to see if we find maybe one position, if we find something for it, but there's no real pressure because it's not about signing a player. We have solutions for all the situations.”

He then added that people expect every player on the squad to be world-class and that it is simply not possible in any way or shape. As a result, it is impossible to make everyone happy but that the club are working on signing good players.

"Do we have exactly the solution that everybody from outside would be 100 per cent happy?
"I don't think so because people want to have world-class here, world-class here and the guy on the bench has to be world-class as well.
"That's not so easy. But we are of course working on it."
