Liverpool boss Klopp responds to Caicedo dumping Liverpool and insiting on Chelsea move; Here is what he said
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists their transfer battle with Chelsea for Moises Caicedo is “no distraction”.
The two giants meet on Sunday just as they fight over Brighton midfielder Caicedo.
Klopp said, “We have been preparing for Chelsea for a while and this [Moises Caicedo deal] is no distraction.
“I think it’s two really good football teams facing each other. We watched Chelsea on their tour against Dortmund and Newcastle and we saw a lot of good things.
“They are really talented and we need to be prepared for that. It’s a home game for them and they want to show up under a new manager.
“Pochettino is a very good manager. You can see Pochettino’s play already in that team. We know what he does from Tottenham and you can see similarities.
“[Christopher] Nkunku was a key part of their plans and that’s unfortunate for the boy. That wasn’t something they planned for but they have really good offensive plans still.
“It’s a really competitive start for us and we don’t want to waste time. I’m more than 20 years in the business and people always say ‘you don’t know where you stand’ but I just want us to give it a proper try.”
On Caicedo, he added: “I can confirm the [Moises Caicedo] deal with the club is agreed, whatever that means in the end. Of course, we want the player and not just the agreement.
“We don’t have endless resource. We didn’t expect a couple of things to happen over the summer but when that happened we gave it a go.
“Let’s see what happens and we go from there.
