Klopp Dislikes Competitions For Players

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he prefers signing players that are not being pursued by other clubs.

Following a lot of competitions for players in the current transfer window with Liverpool signing players that other clubs are not competing for, the German international says he prefers building a team with unknown players.

Klopp said: "If you all swim in the same pool, the pool is too small - you all go for the same players.
"There are a lot of players outside that pool -good players on to the next step in their career. We try to find them.
"The best player of the last season is good to know but it is more interesting trying to find out who will be the best next year.
"If you knew it now that would be a really cool transfer! It would be much cheaper too. That is what we work for.
"It is not about being creative because creative is cool or something. It is about finding the players who can make the next step with us."
