Jurgen Klopp insists English football’s obsession with the need for transfers will not force Liverpool’s hand in the January window.
The Reds are yet to recruit anybody this month, despite Klopp admitting in November the squad is thin on the ground for wide players due to injuries and Sadio Mane’s participation at the African Nations Cup.
However, Klopp says he will not buy in January for the sake of it and aims to give further opportunities to younger players at the club.
“You need to get better and better as a group, I think we have improved a lot,” Klopp told Sky Sports. “English football is especially obsessed with transfers. We are always looking for the right players, not just somebody, that’s the most important information.
“As I’ve said, all has been good until now. In our current situation, if I’d have had three more players that wouldn’t make things easier. Believing in young players and giving them the opportunity to play and perform is not a new idea. It makes absolute sense.
