Jurgen Klopp told Liverpool fans he was "convinced" about Liverpool's transfer strategy and insisted he was not nervous about the lack of new arrivals so far.

The Liverpool boss was speaking pitchside after watching his team beat Tranmere Rovers 4-0 at Prenton Park on Wednesday night courtesy of penalties form James Milner and Ben Woodburn as well as a long range effort from Marko Grujic and a tap in from Pedro Chirivella.

New signing Dominic Solanke made an impressive debut in the second half but Liverpool's sole other signing in the window so far, record buy Mohamed Salah, was in Paris for 24 hours to satisfy bizarre work permit issues.

Klopp was asked if he had a message for supporters who have grown nervous about the Reds' lack of further activity in a window they feel is vital to build on the fourth place finish of last season, especially given the recent activity of some of their rivals.

The Reds boss said: "We also bought players. Yes and they (rivals) lost a lot of players. I heard Man United lost players, got new players. Don't know about Chelsea, I've not heard a lot.

"If any of our fans think about what the other teams are doing and why we aren't doing anything, I can't help, sorry. We cannot only buy players because other teams buy players.

"We do our business as good as we can do it and we are completely in it and we are convinced about the way that we are going so that's all.

"Nervous fans? Sorry I cannot help, I don't have to write a message for this.

"I'm not nervous - maybe that's the right message for this."

Klopp declined to discuss the situation early this summer with Virgil van Dijk and whether the Reds could still bring the Southampton defender to Anfield.

"Am I allowed to talk about this? I am not! Pretty much everything I could say would be a mistake. You or your colleagues wrote everything about this a few weeks ago. I was in Iceland by the way when somebody told me this was in the newspaper. Nothing happened since then, all good so far, so I can't say anything about this."

Asked again about the possibility of new players arriving, Klopp joked: "There's no chance we will add any more players and I'm not frustrated about this - joking!

"We have until August 31, we have time and sometimes things need time. We'll do transfers because we want to do them, if not it's because we don't want to do them. So we have to wait a bit but tomorrow you can have a long sleep because nothing will happen tomorrow."

Liverpool now travel to Wigan for their second pre-season fixture on Friday night.
