Klopp not interested in signing Joe Hart
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is not interested in signing out-of-favour Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart.
The England international is on loan with Serie A side Torino, but the 30-year-old could return to the Premier League next season and has been linked with Liverpool.
Klopp has had issues with his keepers this campaign.
Loris Karius, bought in the summer for £4.7 million, was given a 10-game spell in the Premier League in the middle of the season when Simon Mignolet was going through a bad spell, but failed to convince.
Since Mignolet returned his form has improved, and in the last two matches against Stoke and West Brom the Belgian has been particularly impressive.
Referring to Hart, the Liverpool manager said: “He is a fantastic goalkeeper, the goalkeeper of the English national team, the highest quality, but we have highestquality goalkeepers.
“It is not for us in this moment and hopefully not for us in the future – not because of Joe but we already have two strong goalkeepers.”
Klopp’s injury list is being stretched day-by-day, with midfielder Lucas Leiva and centrebacks Joel Matip and Ragnar Klavan unable to train this week.
Klopp admits there is a real prospect captain Jordan Henderson will not play again this season because of the foot problem which has sidelined him since early February.
