- Klopp says Reds are 'working constantly'
- Insists deal must be for 'the right player'
- Keita the latest midfielder sidelines
WHAT HAPPENED? The Reds boss has repeatedly dismissed the idea of new arrivals at Anfield this summer, but at a press conference on Friday he appeared to leave the door open to the idea.
WHAT THEY SAID:Asked about the potential for incomings before next week's deadline, Klopp said: “I don’t know. As you can imagine, we are actually working constantly on these kind of things. We spoke about the reasons why sometimes it is not happening; sometimes too expensive, sometimes not the right player. Then the situation changes, but one thing stayed the same and that is really important; it needs to be the right player. We are working and will see if something will happen or not. I don’t know.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Liverpool have made three senior signings this summer, bringing in forwards Darwin Nunez and Fabio Carvalho, as well as teenage full-back Calvin Ramsay. But with 10 players currently sidelined through injury - including four senior midfielders - calls have intensified for further additions this summer, with the likes of Jude Bellingham, Nicolo Barella and Moises Caicedo among those linked.
