Jurgen Klopp insists only “100% right player” could strengthen his Liverpool squad
Jurgen Klopp admits it will not be easy to improve a squad which is running away with the Premier League but he has faith in their long-term transfer planning. Klopp has spent less than £10 million in the last two transfer windows—subject to what fee is decided on for 16-year-old Harvey Elliott’s summer move from Fulham. His only addition this month came in the shape of Takumi Minamino, whose £7.25 million move from RB Salzburg was too good to turn down, but with his players setting new standards domestically with a 19-point lead over second-placed Man City having dropped just two points in 24 matches, upgrading will be a tough task. “No-one here is relaxed, absolutely no-one is relaxed,” he said. “We are not really busy with transfer decisions for this period, this moment, but we are constantly in talks and exchanging ideas about what happens in the long term.

Minamino poised for first league start – Predicting the Liverpool lineup vs. Southampton
Jurgen Klopp should make at least one change as Liverpool take on Southampton, with the absence of Sadio Mane still the key area of focus.

There are signs of fatigue throughout Klopp’s squad having passed the midway point of the campaign, but that has so far not affected their form, with 23 wins from 24 in the Premier League. Making their 24 from 25 will be the objective at Anfield, and the numbers available to Klopp are increasing by the game as those recovering from injury slowly return. This gives the manager plenty of scope for change, though few should be expected this weekend.
