Jurgen Klopp has claimed his current Liverpool squad has the best team spirit of any during his managerial career - and believes it has helped their latest signings quickly settle.
The Reds have continued evolving their options this summer with the arrivals of £64million striker Darwin Nunez and teenage duo Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsay.
While injury has prevented right-back Ramsay from yet featuring, Nunez scored in the Community Shield win over Manchester City on Saturday in which Carvalho also made his competitive debut from the bench.

And Klopp has explained how the squad has wasted no time in welcoming the trio into the fray.
"We have some new players who joined us over the summer and the one thing that has stood out during pre-season more than anything else is how quickly they have become part of us," said the Liverpool boss.
"This is because the culture in our squad is so healthy. We have a group that is easy to join and that is credit to the players themselves. I can say without any doubt that the team spirit and togetherness right now is as good as I have ever experienced and I have been in football for many years, so the longer we can maintain this mood the better.
"The truth is that you may not win any trophies for team spirit but you definitely won't win anything without it. We have shown what can be achieved with everyone pulling in the same direction, so continuing this would make a lot of sense."
Writing in the official Liverpool matchday programme, Klopp added: "For now, we should have excitement and expectation. We should look forward to the possibilities and we should have enthusiasm for the journey. To be honest, I could not care less about anyone who disagrees. This is a club that is built on passion, excitement and optimism and we should not change this for anyone or anything.
"Our challenge is clear: we have to take all the positive experiences we have had and try to create new ones. No-one can do that except for us. We cannot hope for favours or wait for things to fall into place. We have to play every minute like it could be our last and see where it takes us.
"This is exactly how we have already tried to do it and things haven't worked out too bad, so there is no reason to change direction now."
