Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is dealing with a few injuries early on in the new Premier League season but says he will not be drawn into the transfer market for a quick fix. The German explained that any transfer would need to be for the right player in order for him to consider spending again this summer. “If there is the right solution for us, we would have done it already."

Jurgen Klopp has suggested there is little chance of another Liverpool signing this transfer window.

Liverpool have signed Fabio Carvalho, Darwin Nunez and Calvin Ramsay, with perhaps only Nunez expected to be a first-team fixture for the coming season.

Injuries to Ibrahima Konate and Thiago have led to speculation that Liverpool could be tempted back into the market, but in his Friday press conference, Klopp was sceptical.

“If there would be the right player, we would have done it, we would do it, but we have had a lot of conversations already and it doesn’t look like it will happen,” said Klopp.

“I’m happy with the strength, size, and quality of my squad – but we have injuries.

“There are different solutions for it – one of them is the transfer market, but it only makes sense if you can bring in the right player.

“If there is the right solution for us, we would have done it already. We are not stubborn, it’s just about the right thing to do.”
