Jurgen Klopp has refused to comment on speculation over a potential deal for Christian Pulisic.

But the Liverpool boss did confirm the performances of James Milner at left-back means the club will not look to strengthen that position ahead of the transfer window closing on Wednesday.

Klopp is keen on reuniting with the American teenager, who he signed while at Borussia Dortmund in 2015, with the Reds lining up an £11million bid.

Klopp rates the Pennsylvania-born winger highly, but would not discuss transfer business publicly.

“No transfer rumours,” Klopp said. “I have no comment on this. Absolutely nothing to speak about this and all the other cases too.

“When we know something and when are close to doing something, then we will inform you – or a little bit later.”

One thing Klopp would be drawn on, however, is the current situation at left-back.

Milner put in a good performance in the 1-1 draw at Tottenham, scoring the opening goal from the penalty spot.

The vice-captain has usurped Alberto Moreno from that position after the Spaniard came under heavy criticism following his showing in the opening weekend win at Arsenal, although there is still a belief the squad is light in that area.

Klopp disagrees however – and intimated the defensive qualities of Milner are seeing him picked ahead of Moreno right now.

“We're going to need more players for different positions,” he added. “The only decision we made is that Milly can play it, especially in the kind of play we think we should play.

“Full-back is not only a winger in the offensive situations, it's something like eight (roles) in different moments so that's a really good position for Milly.

“He still has to adapt and learn because he's not had 500 games in this position but we will work on it, like we work on every player.

“In the end we were convinced he could play the position and that's why we didn't make the transfer. I'm not surprised he can play there.”
