Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool are 'working constantly' on transfers and refuses to rule out new signing
Jurgen Klopp has revealed Liverpool are continuing to work on strengthening their squad before the transfer deadline – but won’t compromise on any targets.
The Reds are assessing their options as they grapple with an ongoing availability crisis that will see them without 10 senior players for Saturday’s Premier League visit of Bournemouth.
Liverpool have not made any incomings since June 19 when 19-year-old right back Calvin Ramsay followed Darwin Nunez and Fabio Carvalho in arriving at Anfield.

Darwin Nunez instruction and other things spotted in Liverpool training
Liverpool are busy preparing for their next match in the Premier League as they look to get their first win of the campaign.
The Reds are currently without a victory in the Premier League this term, having picked up just two points from their opening three league fixtures. Jurgen Klopp’s side suffered a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United in their last outing, as they now prepare to face Bournemouth.

Klopp will be without a host of key players for the visit of the Cherries, but despite this the squad have still been hard at work in training. The club have released a video showing some highlights of their latest training session from Thursday.
