Jurgen Klopp is confident his summer transfer business will be a success.

The German has brought in seven players at a cost of about £70million and Klopp feels not only has he added further quality with goalkeepers Loris Karius and Alex Manninger, defenders Joel Matip and Ragnar Klavan, midfielders Marko Grujic and Georginio Wijnaldum and forward Sadio Mane, but has also brought in the right characters.

“We know more about them than they can imagine,” he said.

“We had a long trip with scouting so when you go and talk to the player you have already scanned him.

“The most important thing is how they can play football: talent, skill, potential but then character is very important.

“Could we gather all the information on the character side? No.

“I met all of them before we made the transfer and then it is about feeling the person behind the player.

“We tried to do our best and at this moment we feel quite confident it has worked.”
