Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to target new wingers in transfer window

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has suggested that he will be targeting wingers in the summer transfer window.

The German coach has made two permanent signings since replacing Brendan Rodgers as manager in October.

Marko Grujic was recruited from Red Star Belgrade and Joel Matip agreed to sign for the Reds from Schalke 04 earlier this week.

Neither of those players will join up with the squad until the summer, and it appears that Klopp is already thinking about dipping back into the market.

"We have enough strikers – five with Roberto [Firmino] – but not too many wingers, just a few young ones with great potential," the Daily Star quotes Klopp as saying.

"We have to decide early and at the right moment on transfers, but it is about a squad where you can play different systems and react to different situations."

The Merseyside outfit are currently eighth in the Premier League table, nine points adrift of the Champions League spots.
