Boss calls for transfer calm

Jurgen Klopp has dismissed claims Liverpool are lagging behind in the transfer market and says he is not nervous by a lack of signings.
Merseyside rivals Everton have spent almost £100million so far, but the Reds have just signed Roma winger Mohamed Salah for £34.3m and brought in England Under-20 World Cup-winner Dominic Solanke after his contract expired with Chelsea.
Both Manchester clubs and Arsenal have all made big-money signings, leading to suggestions Liverpool are falling behind, but Klopp is confident in their approach.
"If any fans think, 'What are the other teams doing and why are we not doing anything', I can't help. Sorry," he said after a 4-0 victory over Tranmere in their first pre-season friendly.
"We cannot buy players because other teams buy players. We do our business as good as we can do it and we are convinced about the way we are going.
"Nervous fans? Sorry, I don't have to write a message for this. I am not nervous – maybe that is the message."
Liverpool continue to be linked with a host of players including Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, but Klopp is refusing to press the panic button and is happy to bide his time.
