Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has insisted that the club can cope without striker Luis Suarez.

Suarez, who scored 31 goals in all competitions last season, recently joined Barcelona for a fee of around £75m.

Despite the Uruguayan's departure, Agger is confident that the club's new signings can fill the void.

"I don't think the transfer of Suarez is that tough," the Danish international told Ritzau. "There are some new [players] who will take over.

"As soon as big players leave, there will be new ones who will come and some other players will raise their game. Hopefully, there will be more additions who will bring some qualities."

Liverpool had been expected to sign Loic Remy from Queens Park Rangers this summer, but it was reported on Sunday that the deal had fallen through.
