Liverpool have been spoken together with a bunch of players like Alex Teixeira and Joel Matip, but Jurgen Klopp has cleared the air regarding the speculation of possible signings. The German said that he is in no rush to sign anyone before the close of the transfer window.
Despite being plagued by injury, and a thick schedule awaiting the Reds, Jurgen Klopp is adamant that his side have enough depth to challenge the hectic future awaiting them though he did not rule out any last minute signing. Liverpool are currently testing themselves in Europa League, Capital One League Cup, along with Premier League.
The Merseyside also earned a replay against West Ham, as they drew blanks against West Ham last day, in the fourth round of FA Cup. However, Klopp has said that he is not panic-buying.
“It should not be the reason [to sign players], one game more. Since the last game against West Ham, we have had three or four games more. But we could rest the team that played against Stoke.” He told Liverpool’s official website.
“They had today off and that’s good, so we will again have fresh legs against Leicester. That’s the good news. In this moment, the draw doesn’t feel too brilliant, but when we go to West Ham, we will see the chance to go into the next round again.” He added.
Klopp also stressed his talk about the squad depth, which he feels will suffice when the injured players return.
“It’s an intensive time. Hopefully, one player or other will come back from injury in the next few weeks and then we’ll have enough players. For what happens in the transfer market, you have to wait in the next 48 hours and we will see if something happens or not.”
The German also took the time to speak jokingly about his team’s air-tight schedule.
“I do not know where they will find a space for the replay. Maybe it will be in the morning when we play [again] in the afternoon! I don’t know, but they will find a moment and we will have to play.”
