Liverpool and Chelsea played out a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, in a game that underlined why the Reds are in need of a midfield anchor following a summer exodus that has seen the likes of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson leave the club. Klopp admitted there was "no news at all" on the transfer chase when asked after the game, with the window having just a matter of weeks to run. Liverpool have been heavily linked with Romeo Lavia, who could also yet end up at the Blues. Southampton have stuck to their £50m price tag and have rejected several offers from the Reds. The German appeared confident that a move for Caicedo would get down when questioned on Friday, where he also defended previous comments he made about spending £100m on a single player. He said: "The fee with the club is agreed. We will see what that means. We aren't a club with endless resources and we didn't expect a couple of things to happen this summer. Then it happened." Klopp also added: "Everything changed. Do I like it? No. Did I realise I was wrong? Yes. That's the way it goes. Saudi Arabia will not help with that. In the end, we have to try and make sure we get the best possible team together. Liverpool's home shirt for the){kind=link}
