Liverpool can't ignore £17m transfer opportunity after Naby Keita injury
It’s very rare for Jurgen Klopp to dip his toes into the summer transfer market after the start of the Premier League season.

And Jota, who signed a new five-year contract earlier this month, is convinced the ongoing rebuild can prove a long-term success under Jurgen Klopp.
