Jurgen Klopp admits he doesn't take any joy from the transfer issues suffered by some of Liverpool's rivals - and is adamant he won't be influenced by business elsewhere.
Despite a lengthy injury list, the Reds are unlikely to make any further new signings after completing their recruitment drive ahead of pre-season with the arrivals of striker Darwin Nunez, attacking midfielder Fabio Carvalho and teenage right-back Calvin Ramsay.
While Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have similarly prepared for the new campaign, both Manchester United and Chelsea - who will challenge for a top-four berth - are still scrambling to strengthen their squads with the Premier League season already underway.

"There's no joy in that the some teams are trying (to sign players). Other teams have finished their business as well. It's nothing to do with us.
"We cannot increase the rhythm or
find money because other teams sign players and we say 'oh no, we have to do as well, because they signed him we now need him'. We have to be completely independent of whatever whoever is doing, and we are.
"We try to sort our situation, which is difficult enough very often but it's our situation at least. That's the only one we can have influence on. That's why it's the only one I'm concerned about."
