Jurgen Klopp will look to make “big changes” to his Liverpool squad, according to Jamie Carragher.

But the Reds legend believes major surgery in the January window is unlikely, and that the German will wait until next summer to dip into the transfer market.

Klopp’s arrival on Merseyside has seen Liverpool make steady if unspectacular progress, losing just one of seven games so far. They sit 10th in the Premier League table, nine points off leaders Manchester City – whom they visit this weekend – and seven points off fourth-placed Manchester United.

Klopp has so far refused to entertain talk of new signings in January, insisting he is fully focused on the players already at his disposal.

Carragher, though, says the 48-year-old will already be thinking about changes, insisting the current squad is “not quite good enough” to match the club’s ambitions.

He told the Evening Standard: “Eventually, he will make big changes but I think in January it’s always difficult to make those kinds of changes.

“Now and again you see signings coming in January who make a big difference - Luis Suarez was huge for Liverpool. Daniel Agger came in January too and he did really well, but it’s not normally a time when you get the best players on offer.

“I imagine the changes Klopp will look to make and want to implement will come more in the summer.

“At present the team and the squad isn’t quite good enough to be where everyone wants Liverpool to be and that’s the whole point why you bring a new manager in.”
