sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table hasn’t stopped the Reds from looking to strengthen their side.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp might be pleased with his current squad, but would be keen to strengthen should the need arise during the January transfer window.
“I’m very happy with what I have got and what I have but we don’t know,” Klopp told a news conference, according to FourFourTwo.
“That’s the only little bit where I keep the door open. If something happens we need to have a look. There are monstrous numbers of the game coming and it’s really important that we can react.
“A long as we can react, then all good. If something dramatically changes we need to have a look. If nothing happens we will not do anything,” Klopp added.
Klopp also lauded the continuous outstanding performances from Virgil Van Dijk, who hasn’t failed to disappoint since arriving for a massive fee from Southampton in January this year.
“He’s very, very, very influential. I’m happy.
“When I met him first I thought I knew about his personality, you feel something about that. I was pretty sure he would be like he is.
“On the pitch after the Tottenham game last October [a 4-1 defeat at Wembley] – after that [and] before Virg came in, we started already defending much better.
“Then Virg came in on top and that helped, of course.
“I have no problem with giving all the compliments and all the credit to the boys.
“I know the game doesn’t work like that – you bring in one player, it doesn’t improve unless the rest do as well,” he said.
The Reds unbeaten run will be put to the test with a Boxing Day clash against Newcastle United at home.
