Liverpool will ‘keep the door open’ on January signings, says Jurgen Klopp
German boss revealed he is very happy at his current squad but will always keen an eye out for reinforcements
LIVERPOOL will "keep the door open" to new signings in the January transfer window, according to Jurgen Klopp.
The German boss, 51, revealed he is very happy with his current squad but will always keen an eye out for reinforcements.
Liverpool are four points clear of champions Man City going into Christmas gunning for their first-ever Premier League title.
But Klopp knows an injury crisis could derail everything, saying: "I'm very happy with what I've got but I've always said, you don't know.
"I'll keep the door open. If some things happen then we need to have a look.
"A monstrous number of games are coming up. It is really important that we can react.
"If something dramatically changes we will need to have a look, but if nothing happens then we will not do anything."
Liverpool are already in the midst of a defensive crisis, with Joe Gomez, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joel Matip all injured, with Dejan Lovren only recently returning.
James Milner has already been forced to fill-in in defence this season, while Virgil van Dijk will miss the Champions League last-16 first-leg through suspension.
On his back-line, Klopp added: "We don't have that many options anymore because we have two injured centre-halves, so that immediately limits everything.
"We are not that versatile. Yes, [James] Milner can play five or six different positions, that is not a problem for him.
"But there are not a lot of players who can play that many positions. But the situation is OK."
This weekend, Liverpool beat Wolves 2-0 and saw Man City lose 3-2 at home to Crystal Palace as they extended their lead atop the Premier League table.
But Roy Hodgson has sent a warning to his former club, suggesting it could still all go wrong.
