Steven Gerrard has backed Jurgen Klopp to make further additions to his Liverpool squad before the transfer window closes.

The Reds have so far added Andy Robertson, Dominic Solanke and Mohamed Salah to their ranks this summer, but have been left frustrated in their attempts to land Naby Keita and Virgil van Dijk.

Liverpool have walked away from RB Leipzig's Keita after having two bids turned down by the Bundesliga side, and were forced to publicly withdraw interest in Van Dijk back in June after Southampton complained about an alleged 'tapping up'.

However, Reds legend Gerrard thinks Klopp will still have plenty of business to conclude before the transfer window shuts on August 31.

He told BT Sport: "There is still time, three weeks to go.

"Last year, against the top six they were excellent and had a very good record.

"In pre-season, they have looked very strong and with three weeks to go in the window, I wouldn't be surprised if Jurgen has got a couple of cards up his sleeve.

"He might bring a couple of big signings in."

Gerrard also admitted the absence of Adam Lallana is a "huge blow" to the Reds after the midfielder was ruled out for around three months on Friday, but the legendary former Reds captain thinks Klopp has enough attacking talent to cover the loss of the England star.

"Adam Lallana's injury is a huge blow, because he was a player in great form and confidence," he added.

"But [Mohamed] Salah is coming in, [Sadio] Mane back fit and hopefully [Philippe] Coutinho will stay.

"Liverpool look really dangerous on the counter. If they can learn how to break teams down at home and defend a bit better, I think they are a force."
