Jurgen Klopp is unimpressed by the constant questions on Liverpool's transfer ambitions despite his continued insistence that he is happy with the squad.

The 48-year-old has been asked about potential spending since his first day on Merseyside, and has always maintained he does not view recruitment as the solution to every problem.

Klopp prefers to enhance the players he currently manages as well as look to the academy, instead of gambling in the market.

At Melwood on Saturday afternoon, the former Borussia Dortmund boss was twice quick to quash transfer talk.

On the first occasion, he was asked whether he’d look to bring in a replacement for Daniel Sturridge.

He responded: “I think it’s pretty cool to sit on that side of the table and only think of ‘bring new players.’ I hope your company is not always thinking of bringing two or three new guys for your job"

The German was later asked if he was completely content with the personnel at his disposal.

''Maybe all of you should read the newspaper of your colleagues because I answer this question all the time!" Klopp said.

"I said it before that I am not one per cent in doubt about the quality of this squad.

"That's what I thought in the summer when I was not here, that's what I thought in October when I came here, now we have December - my mind didn't change every two days."

Klopp reiterated his belief that a new player doesn’t automatically guarantee better results that optimising what you can get from a footballer already at the club.

''You always ask for new players because you think they are players that can come in and help us at this moment,” he said.

''But I think football should be a very good example for life that working together with the right people should always be better than trying always to find new, better ones.”
