Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham have been handed a clear transfer warning from Jurgen Klopp following his hints at potential business for Liverpool in the summer window. It comes after a disappointing season so far for the Reds, who have failed to replicate their recent successes.
The Reds currently sit eighth in the Premier League, though there is a feeling that they need to refresh a few departments before they are competitive again. Discussing the plans for the summer, Jurgen Klopp told the media: "It's clear we need to do something in the summer but for now we have to go through this and fight back."
For their three big London rivals, it could prove to be something of a problem when it comes to their own plans in the months to come. Chelsea are one of those that could go head-to-head with Liverpool, having faced a similar fate so far this season in the Premier League.

The Blues sit 10th in the league, having spent over half-a-billion-pounds under their new owners, with the need for time to embed their new philosophy and structure at the club. There may still be a desire to add in particular areas of the squad though, meaning potential battles with Liverpool over the likes of Declan Rice or Jude Bellingham that have both been linked.
Similar can be said of Arsenal, though their fortunes in the league have been far better as they top the table in an impressive campaign. Their need to strengthen with quality in depth is clear though, with Bellingham and Rice another pairing linked with the club.
Tottenham sit somewhere in the middle of all of this, not having a disastrous season by any stretch of the imagination, but not overachieving either. The Lilywhites sit in fourth and if they achieve another top four finish, they will be hopeful of competing on the same footing as the other clubs mentioned in the transfer market.
It remains to be seen exactly how the market will pan out in the coming months, but the investment from Liverpool could prove concerning.
