Jurgen Klopp is considering going back into the transfer market to strengthen his Liverpool squad before the start of the new Premier League season.

The Reds boss has already welcomed seven new signings to Anfield this summer but could add one more.

Left-back remains an area of concern after Alberto Moreno limped off with a dead leg in the defeat to Roma in St Louis.

Klopp has indicated he’s prepared to use James Milner there as cover after failing in a bid to sign Leicester City’s Ben Chilwell.

However, other options are being considered. Germany international Jonas Hector has repeatedly been linked with Liverpool this summer but the ECHO understands that a move for the FC Koln left-back is highly unlikely. The Reds don’t believe he’s worth the £20million price tag.

“Is the activity all over? I have no idea,” Klopp said.

“I don’t think so. We will see what happens.

“If the Roma game was our base then we have to change everything but it isn’t. Was the Milan game more our base? Maybe. But Roma? No.

“(Joe) Gomez, (Mamadou) Sakho and Lucas are all injured so of course we haven’t got enough centre-backs at the moment. But we have to handle situations.

“There have been too many games with not enough centre-backs. We can’t sign someone just for a few weeks. In other positions we do have cover.”

Liverpool looked vulnerable defensively against Roma with Klopp unhappy about their organisation.

However, the boss is confident they will put things right ahead of the Premier League opener at Arsenal on August 14.

“We have to improve a lot but not because of this game,” he added.

“What you saw was an example of how you can’t defend - leaving spaces so big you could have cut grass in between.

“We were too wide, too deep and too far from each other so each pass they played was a chance.

“But we created six or seven chances of our own with really good football.

“It was a bad game but we know why we lost. There were tired legs and it was really hot.”
