Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has told FSG exactly what he wants from new summer signings


Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has told the club chiefs what he wants from new summer signings. Along with Michael Edwards, the German has brought several high-profile signings to the club that ended in their first Premier League title since 1990 last season. Even when Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group have sanctioned mega-money deals, players like Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker have slotted in perfectly. Speaking on the Robbie Fowler podcast, the Reds boss explained exactly what he looks for when deciding to bring a player to Anfield. “Open. Open for information. What I like is a very, very confident football player and person who doesn’t take himself too seriously,” Klopp explained "Very self-confident so you know I’m good, but I understand I need all the others as well otherwise I have no chance in this game. So a little bit like that. But if that’s your only strength, you have no chance in my team. First and foremost you should be able to play really good football. “Another blessing in my life is that I’ve worked together with players that are so much better than I ever, ever, ever was and so that makes it really easy for me to enjoy their skills. There’s not a typical Jurgen Klopp player. But you should be open for football information. “If you arrive here and think you have already got the game to the extent that you know everything about the game, I’ve never met that person, then you could struggle a little bit as we have a lot of information.” Klopp claims that allowing new signings to settle into their new surroundings is just as important as initially acquiring the player. “For me, I feel absolutely no rush in that,” he added. “It’s just all these different pieces in a football game have to fit together and just bringing the best player in the world into a very good team doesn’t mean it will work together immediately. “We all need time to settle, we all need time to tune all these kind of things. The little problem we have in football is you usually don’t get that time, but we are cheeky enough to just take it and give ourselves the time and make it happen. So far, it’s worked most of the time.”
