The Reds boss brought seven new players to Anfield in the transfer window.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has insisted they bought enough in the transfer window.

The German had a very busy summer as he added seven new players to his squad at Anfield.

Among those were some big transfer fees, with them paying £25 million for Georginio Wijnaldum and close to £40 million for Sadio Mane.

Their Premier League rivals eclipsed those fees though as the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City spent vast sums to improve their own squads.

Indeed, after selling several stars, Liverpool actually ended the transfer window with a slight profit, a rare occurrence in a summer that saw the Premier League spend more than £1 billion in transfer fees.

That has left some Reds fans slightly disappointed, but Klopp has insisted that he is convinced they have bought enough.

“We have bought enough, and if I am convinced, I am convinced,” he told the Daily Mail.

“There are big competitors in this league, but we can’t say, ‘If we had this signing we would beat them, and if not, no chance’. What is that? It is not important that one or two clubs have more than us. I am not jealous of anybody else.”

It remains to be seen if Liverpool can challenge at the top end of the Premier League table this season.

A top four place is likely to be an extremely hard thing to achieve, with as many as seven teams all looking to make it in.

The Reds are among those, but it will likely take Klopp at his best to ensure they can make it in.
