Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool will sign “a couple more players” in the forthcoming transfer window as he begins to plot his summer recruitment.

The Reds will already be bolstered by the arrival of Naby Keita, with a deal having been agreed for the RB Leipzig midfielder to arrive on July 1.

Liverpool, though, sold Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona for £142million in January and are set to lose Emre Can for nothing in the summer.

Klopp has struggled for options at times this season with Joel Matip out, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain sidelined well into the new campaign and Adam Lallana having barely featured this term.

And with Liverpool hopeful of challenging once again in the Premier League and Champions League next season, Klopp acknowledges his squad requires greater strength in depth.

“We will probably sign a couple more players in the summer because we need more depth in the squad,” said the Reds boss.

“To bring in players who are 200% better than what we have will be difficult but we had a problem when Coutinho left and Adam Lallana and then Emre Can became injured.

“You can never remove all injury risk and the boys still did brilliantly, but of course we will try to strengthen the squad because that’s how it is.”

Liverpool are keeping tabs on Napoli midfielder Jorginho and Borussia Dortmund's United States international Christian Pulisic.

The Reds are also monitoring Roma goalkeeper Alisson but believe a deal could be problematic due to the Serie A side's exorbitant asking price.

They have also been linked with several other players, including Norwich City's highly-rated 21-year-old midfielder James Maddison.
