Klopp primed to spend to bolster Liverpool

Combined with a humiliating 10-2 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich in this season’s Champions League, reaching the FA Cup final for the third time in four years has not been enough to stop Wenger facing a barrage of criticism. “We feel it in the talks”, he told the Telegraph.

Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana declares Philippe Coutinho the “main man” and backs him to be decisive during Sunday’s must-win season finale against Middlesbrough.

Should Liverpool finish fourth, they will face a Champions League qualifier and are likely to be unseeded, which means they will have to travel to Spain, Italy, Germany or France.

Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal head into the final weekend of the Premier League with just three points separating them.

Jurgen Klopp has insisted that Liverpool are on a strong financial footing to sign players, even without the lure of Champions League football in the summer.

“You know we have been in talks with some clubs in England as well, but this time I chose to make the decision as to what I feel and what I prefer for myself”, Draxler told BBC World Service.

The 21-year-old has been in sensational form for the Bundesliga outfit this season, scoring 21 goals and chipping in with five assists in 31 league outings for his club.

Arsenal go into the final round in fifth, needing to beat Everton at home and hope either Liverpool or Manchester City slip up to allow them to gatecrash the Champions League places. They can guarantee a top-four finish by beating Middlesbrough on Sunday, although in such an event they would still have to navigate their way through a qualifying tie in August.

“I am always open to things that improve the quality and the future of the club”, stated Wenger. Although he has been linked with Barcelona, Liverpool will be confident of keeping him this summer and build the team around him as they plan to push on to challenge for the title next season.

Tottenham would finish outside of the top four in Mark Lawrenson’s final predicted Premier League table.

“It’s hard to make the rehabilitation because what this injury needs is time”, he said.

Klopp has no plans to leave Liverpool any time soon, with his current contract on Merseyside due to expire in 2022.

However, the manager’s admission that he had to choose one competition over another when discussing the Premier League and Europe shows the high risk involved in his objective.
