  • Klopp’s side currently sit seventh in the Premier League after a miserable start
  • Liverpool also have a mounting list of injuries to make matters so much worse 

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has ruled out making anymore January additions to bolster his squad – despite their continued struggles.

The Reds moved to snap up Holland forward Cody Gakpo for £44million from PSV on a five-and-half year deal at the start of the transfer window.

But there appears to be no sign of anymore arrivals at Anfield in the next month regardless of the current situation that they find themselves in.

Liverpool currently sit seventh in the Premier League after a miserable start to the season and numerous injuries stacking up throughout the campaign.

They are without key players such as Virgil van Dijk, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino and Arthur Melo at present. 

‘I don’t think so. The situation is like it is,’ Klopp told reporters of any possible further January signings.

‘We have to talk about it because you ask me about it but, in the end, my job is to use the boys I have – that’s it.

‘I like the teams we line up, but when we start changing you realise up front we don’t have three, four, five options and if we have options, they get pretty young immediately.

‘That’s fine but it’s the situation and you cannot solve all the problems in the transfer window.

‘I know in a dreamland, you just buy players and bring them in but I don’t see that coming.

‘We cannot sort the problems like other teams are doing, and I know it creates headlines, but we do it our way, we really squeeze everything out.’
