Asked about his previous comments, when he said Liverpool wouldn’t be adding to their squad, Klopp added: “That changed. I know we have had this discussion now since it all started, I am the one who said we don’t need a midfielder and now we go looking for a midfielder.
”You were all right and I was wrong!”

Bellingham ‘agrees’
Liverpool have reportedly agreed personal terms with Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham.
According to Football Insider, the midfielder is up for a move to Anfield, but Dortmund are not going to agree a deal this summer.
