Jurgen Klopp thinks Harvey Elliott will be like “a new signing” for Liverpool this season as he gives an update on if there will be any more incomings this summer.
The Reds have already signed Fabio Carvalho, Calvin Ramsay and Darwin Nunez this summer and widespread reports have indicated that Liverpool won’t be signing anyone else this summer.
That is something Klopp has already confirmed, unless any of his current players decide their future lies away from Liverpool.

When asked if Liverpool could be active again in the transfer market this summer, Klopp told their official website: “How I said, if nobody wants to leave – and no player came to me with that request yet and I don’t expect it really, to be honest – there is no need for a new midfielder.
“We cannot just add on midfielders. We respect the contracts with our boys as well, that means as long as we signed them they get all our support – in training, between the sessions, during the games and between the games.

When a player didn’t perform on his highest level, it is at least 50 per cent my fault. So, I have to improve, I have to say the right things, I have to say better things, I have to help him in a better way.
