Liverpool will refuse to let any of their first team squad players leave, as Jurgen Klopp focuses on title glory.

Midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri is the latest to be linked with a move away, with Roma suggested to hold an interest in taking the Swiss international on loan, with a view to a permanent move.

The winger has endured a frustrating time on Merseyside, with injuries and fierce competition in the forward positions limiting his opportunities several, and it is thought he is interested in a chance to play more regularly.

But the club has made clear to the player’s agent, there is NO chance of him leaving in the January window.

And Klopp has expressed a strong desire to keep his first team squad together now until the end of the season, as he plots a route to the Premier League trophy.

The manager is aware he has a lean squad, and with injuries he’s had limited selection options through December and January.

And the last thing he wants is to let players leave on loan, with the German coach insisting everyone will have a big part to play between now and the end of the season.

Klopp did sanction a loan move for teenage striker Rhian Brewster to allow him to gain more experience at Swansea, and he has also allowed defender Nat Phillips to return to Stuttgart to complete a loan period there, after he was briefly recalled to play in the FA Cup.
