Jürgen Klopp Hints Liverpool Are Ready to Splash the Cash in the January Transfer Window

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp is more than willing to spend big in

January in a bid to seal his side's first Premier League title.

Klopp has hinted that he has no reservations about reaching for the

cheque book if the right player ​comes available during the window.

And, the German has form. Two years ago, Klopp parted with £75m

to capture the services of Dutch defender Virgil Van Dijk from

Southampton in January.

It was a move that transformed Liverpool into true title challengers,

and should the opportunity arise to sign a player of a similar calibre,

the Reds manager wouldn't hesitate to make a move.

Speaking ahead of his side's clash with neighbours Everton in the

Merseyside derby on Wednesday, the Liverpool manager confirmed

the club's pragmatic transfer approach.

"It’s not important, for us it’s always the same, we don’t speak about

it, we’re pretty much always ready," Klopp told the Metro .

The Reds top the table with 13 wins from 14 games, having only

dropped points against Manchester United in a 1-1 draw at Old

Trafford earlier in the season.

But in spite of them opening up an eight-point gap over Leicester in

second place, Liverpool look primed to make a big-money signing in

the upcoming window.

Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho is the name on everyone's lips

around Anfield, given his unsettled start to the season under

Dortmund boss Lucien Favre.

The 19-year-old scored in his side's 2-1 weekend win away to

Hertha Berlin but he was dropped for last Wednesday's Champions

League clash with Barcelona.

Sancho came off the bench to score in the 3-1 defeat at the Nou

Camp, but relations appear to have broken down and the England

star has hinted that he is unhappy at Dortmund.

And according to the Mirror , Liverpool have emerged as favourites to

sign the teenager, but the winger isn't cheap, with his asking price is

reported to be in the region of £100m.

However, Sancho isn't the only wonderkid on Klopp's wishlist. 90min

revealed that the Premier League leaders have joined the race to

sign Lyon's Mathis Ryan Cherki.

Despite him only turning 16 in August, Cherki has already made his

Champions League bow for Lyon and is attracting suitors from

around Europe.

Klopp is also reportedly keen on convincing Cherki's teammate,

Memphis Depay to make a return to the English top-flight after

failing to make the grade during his ill-fated spell with Manchester

United.

But for now, the window remains shut and Klopp's focus will be on

Wednesday night's game with Merseyside rivals Everton, as

Liverpool look to stretch their unbeaten start to the league

campaign.
