Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has played down suggestions that he could sign more players this summer.

The former Borussia Dortmund boss has seen seven players coming in during the off-season - Marko Grujic, Joel Matip, Loris Karius, Sadio Mane, Ragnar Klavan, Alex Manninger, and Georginio Wijnaldum.

Speaking to ESPN about more signings coming in, Klopp said: "If I had to guess I would say rather no, but I don't know actually because it's a long time until August 31 and I have no idea.

"We will see how the players react on my decisions again because we will have more players than 11 for sure, and then you have to accept a few decisions and you have to take it as an opportunity.

"To develop a team never ends so, you have only result, result, result, but then you will have to again decide. That's how it is. So we will see. I don't think we'll have a lot. But of course everyone knows about it maybe on the outgoing side will happen a little bit."
