Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has conceded that uncertainty over playing in the Champions League next season is having an effect on summer transfer talks, but is confident he'll still be able to bring in the players he wants.
Six successive Premier League wins have rejuvenated Liverpool's hopes of a top four finish, leaving them fifth and just a point off Man United above them, albeit having played a game more. But in reality, the Reds are still relying on slip ups from their rivals if they are to pull off a remarkable heist and book their seat at Europe's top table next season.
Amid plans to revamp his squad this summer, the German boss made rising England star Jude Bellingham his top target, but the Anfield club pulled out of the race after balking at the £80 million plus fee. They've also been linked with the likes of Bayern star Ryan Gravenberch and West Ham's Declan Rice, but are yet to agree a deal for any incoming player.
