KLOPP CALLS FOR PATIENCE
JURGEN KLOPP has urged Liverpool supporters to stay patient as he tries to land his top transfer targets.
Klopp has been frustrated in his attempts to add a centre-half, midfielder, and left-back to record £37million signing Mohamed Salah and Bosman capture Dominic Solanke. Red Bull Leipzig are resisting Liverpool’s attempts to land highly-rated midfielder Naby Keita, while the Reds have been forced to put their interest in Southampton centre-half Virgil van Dijk on the back-burner after their ill-judged attempts to lure him earlier this summer.
Klopp, who received a birthday surprise at Liverpool yesterday after turning 50 last month, tried to assure fans the club are working hard to land the men he wants. “The transfer market opened a few days ago,” said the Kop boss. “But it will be a difficult one and is getting more and more difficult, especially in England.
“But we have done a lot of good things so far. We have done a lot of things behind the scenes.
“Sometimes you need to be patient. Sometimes you have to wait for the right moment. Then we will see what happens.”
