LIVERPOOL. — Jurgen Klopp says he can’t wait until the transfer window closes – and admits he is stunned by the “obsession” surrounding potential new signings.

The Liverpool boss, speaking at a press conference ahead of his side’s EFL Cup match with Burton Albion last night, was asked whether he had plans to enter the market before the window closes on August 31.

But, just as he had at Burnley on Saturday, Klopp produced a frustrated response.

“I really wait for the day when finally the transfer window is closed, because I can’t believe how obsessed you all are with this,” he said.

“You don’t believe for a second in improvement on the training pitch. I understand that Arsenal was not a perfect game – we scored four so obviously we can score goals, but we conceded three so obviously we have a defensive problem.” — Liverpool Echo.
