Chairman Tom Werner has vowed that Liverpool will be even stronger next season as they prepare to splash the cash in the transfer market this summer.

The American owner, who has flown into Kiev to attend Saturday's Champions League final against Real Madrid, says Jurgen Klopp will have the funds to ensure there is greater depth to his squad in 2018/19.

Naby Keita will arrive from RB Leipzig for £52.75million and other star names will follow him to Anfield.

“I am excited to see Naby Keita join the club this summer and I can only promise our supporters that we will continue to improve the squad,” Werner told the ECHO.

“Whatever happens on Saturday night, we will ensure we have a strong squad to compete for trophies next season which will have even more depth.

“We will make decisions that will improve the team and we will sign players who make us even more successful.”

Shrewd recruitment has been key to Liverpool's march to Kiev.

Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Virgil van Dijk have all enjoyed excellent debut seasons for the club. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also proved a big hit before injury cut short his campaign.

“I want to pay great credit obviously to Jurgen because he's our leader but also to sporting director Michael Edwards, Dave Fallows and Barry Hunter,” Werner added.

“As a team they are extremely collaborative in the recruitment of our players.

“With Virgil, it was very clear that he wanted to come to play for Liverpool.

“We always read about how players have a dream to play for one of the great Spanish clubs. Under Jurgen's leadership, top players want to come to Liverpool.

“I am very positive about our future because Jurgen attracts the best players.”
