Nine months on from his appointment, Jürgen Klopp is beginning to make an impression on Liverpool’s transfer dealings.

The German held back from making wholesale changes in January, with Marko Grujic’s move from Red Star Belgrade the only permanent transfer to be arranged.

Klopp’s now making up for lost time and has since overseen the completion of three further signings.

Joel Matip, whose free transfer from Schalke 04 was arranged back in February, is now officially a Liverpool player.

Loris Karius, the highly-rated young goalkeeper, has been brought in from Mainz to challenge for Simon Mignolet’s place in the starting line-up.

Then there’s Sadio Mane, Liverpool’s tormentor in their 3-2 defeat against Southampton last March, whose £30million transfer fee made him the club’s third most-expensive signing of all time.

Will Klopp’s new broom now stop its sweeping? It seems unlikely. Central midfielder and left-back remain priority positions, so who could be in line for a move to Anfield?

Take a look at the gallery above to see who Liverpool have been linked with this summer.
