Liverpool to welcome ‘four new signings’ – according to Jurgen Klopp, at least

Tom Victor

Credit to Jurgen Klopp, he clearly taught himself all the key pieces of English football spin before joining Liverpool.

The former Dortmund boss is preparing to welcome ‘four new signings’ to Melwood this week. Can you guess who?

Alex Teixeira? Denis Cheryshev? Try again.

The men in question are Philippe Coutinho, Martin Skrtel, Divock Origi and Daniel Sturridge, all of whom are expected to return to training in the coming days, according to Sky Sports.

Channeling Arsene Wenger’s oft-repeated line, Klopp said: “Skrtel needs two or three days more before returning to training.

“Sturridge should return to training on Wednesday, Origi and Coutinho on Thursday. These are our new signings.”

We doubt Liverpool fans will be over the moon, with many expecting Teixeira to be a done deal in the final few days of the window.
