Jurgen Klopp says ‘nothing will happen in this transfer window’ as Liverpool boss rules out any more signings in January after FA Cup defeat to Brighton

Jurgen Klopp has said Liverpool won’t be making any more signings in the January transfer window following their FA Cup exit.

The holders crashed out of the cup in the fourth round with a 2-1 defeat away to Brighton, meaning all three games against the Seagulls this season have ended terribly.

The Reds gave drew 3-3 at home to the Seagulls in what was Roberto De Zerbi’s first game in charge of the club, before being humbled 3-0 in the reverse fixture on January 14.

Now they’ve been beaten by Brighton again, with many of the squad’s issues laid bare.

Youngster Stefan Bajcetic was once again preferred over captain Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, with the latter lucky to avoid a red card in a late cameo.

Liverpool have few options in the centre of the park, while matters are worse up front with Luis Diaz, Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota out with long–term injuries.

Despite those issues, Klopp said the club won’t be bringing in any more reinforcements this month.

“No, no, nothing will happen in this transfer window,” he told beIN Sports post-match. “That’s it, all good.”

Liverpool have already conducted one piece of business in the winter market, signing Netherlands World Cup star Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven for £37million.

The forward has gone straight into the starting XI, but again proved ineffective against Brighton, and is without a goal or an assist in five games for his new side.
