Jurgen Klopp Reveals Liverpool’s January Transfer Window Plans

It’s all about seeing what happens.

With prices typically over inflated and real quality players often scarce in January, Liverpool have typically tended to focus the majority of their transfer business during the summer months.

Jurgen Klopp will hope that the Brazilian can provide the creativity needed to get his Liverpool team scoring again after their failure to find the net in their last two games.

“Those games would certainly be highlights”, he told Bild. However, the former Dortmund manager insists he is happy to work with his current squad.

Asked how Liverpool would cope with West Brom’s dead-ball threat, Klopp added: “Maybe we should sit on our shoulders and become a little taller that way!” He can only get better.

Liverpool vs. West Brom kicks off at 4pm (GMT) on Sunday afternoon, stay with This is Anfield throughout the weekend for full coverage of the match as it happens.

For Klopp, the issue of player recruitment was as simple: it started and ended with him. It’s much more important to work with people. “I said ‘who’s this?”

Should Klopp and Liverpool tick, it will only need a succession of wins before they are making a concerted push for the top four, or even the top of the Premier League ladder. It’s only a good thing for the club and for everybody that he’s here.

Klopp also revealed that defender Mamadou Sakho, absent for the last six games because of a knee complaint, has returned to training and could be available for the trip to Watford on December 20.

“There is potential to be the best player in the world, no doubt”. Now, players are returning from injury to provide further depth for a squad fighting on multiple fronts.

On Sturridge’s recovery process, Klopp explained: “It’s like I said before: we have to train with him, we have to make sessions with him as soon as he is prepared for it”.

Emre Can will return from his one match suspension, while Philippe Coutinho should also come back into the starting eleven.

“We now have two players for each full-back position, four centre-backs, Jordan Henderson in midfield for the first time, other offensive midfield players, and we have more strikers than other teams, so where is the space?”
