Jurgen Klopp is confident Liverpool “will bring in the players we want” this summer, with the club facing its most important transfer window in some time.

The Reds are finishing the season strongly but we all know eyes are well and truly cast to what lies ahead in the summer and who the club will sign.

Midfielders are at the top of the list and the three that are attracting the most attention in reports are Brighton‘s Alex Mac Allister, Chelsea‘s Mason Mount and Ryan Gravenberch of Bayern Munich.

While Klopp will never be drawn into names in a public forum, he spoke strongly in his extended press conference about the window ahead as he was challenged on whether rivals will place a premium on players they target.

“We will bring in players,” Klopp insisted. “I am pretty sure we will bring in the players we want and the players who help us. I’m pretty confident in that.

“You never know 100 percent until they sign but that’s not new to us.

“We cannot buy the player then [if price tag inflates],” he laughed dryly. “If they are overpriced, we cannot do it.

“Some clubs may try that [increase the price], I don’t know, but let me say it like this, if you identify a position you don’t have only one option in the position.

“They should all be good. You may have a favourite, but if the other club then doesn’t want to sell or somebody else will pay the price, then we cannot go with that.”

There was a strong conviction in Klopp’s words along with his regular pragmatism on the subject of transfers, clearly showing confidence in getting the job done.

It is no secret that the manager wants business done as early as possible as he looks forward to a “proper pre-season” where “we will be stronger.”

New signings, players returning from injury and a  you training block will help build on the “promising signs” Klopp has seen from his current squad as they close out the season strongly.

It is a big summer of change ahead at Anfield and there is clearly optimism within the ranks, now time to get the deals over the line.

Arsenal could break the bank with a €70 million offer for the 20-year-old Valencia CF midfielder Yunus Musah.

According to a report by Fichajes, Arsenal are interested in acquiring the services of Yunus Musah. The 20-year-old American midfielder has been doing wonders for the last few seasons. And, his performances haven’t gone unnoticed. A lot of top clubs from across Europe are keen on having him in their ranks.

Musah was a part of the Arsenal youth setup from 2012 to 2019. He came through the ranks at the club but things were not really working out for him. As a result, he decided to move to Spain. Valencia acquired his services in the summer of 2019.

The 20-year-old got off to a flying start at the Spanish club. He made it to their first team in a year’s time. The American international has been a key part of their first team for the past few seasons. He has featured in a total of 104 matches and has eight goal contributions.

As far as the ongoing season is concerned, the 20-year-old has featured in 34 matches and has two assists to his name. While his numbers might not be that great, Musah has been the mainstay of their team. And, he has been putting in consistent performances in the centre of the park.

Meanwhile, he is on the radar of the Gunners. Arsenal are keen on re-signing him. And, as per reports, they are willing to spend around €70 million for the American international.

Mikel Arteta is keen on bolstering his midfield ahead of next season as he looks to push for the Premier League title once again. And, with the Gunners all set to feature in the Champions League, they do need a lot more quality to be competitive in both competitions.

Musah could be a great acquisition for Arsenal as he is a versatile player who can feature in numerous positions. The 20-year-old is capable enough to feature anywhere in the midfield and can also be deployed as a winger if needed.

However, he is not their first priority. The Gunners will push for Declan Rice in the summer as they look to strengthen their midfield. But, they are well aware of the amount of competition for his services. And, if they fail to land the West Ham United midfielder, Arteta’s men will shift their focus towards the 20-year-old.

But, they will face competition from Liverpool. The Merseyside club are keen on a midfield overhaul in the summer as they look to revive themselves. Jurgen Klopp’s team will push for multiple midfielders in the upcoming window and Musah is one of the names on their transfer target list.

With Liverpool and Arsenal set to lock horns, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
