Jurgen Klopp says it is ‘difficult’ for Liverpool to financially catch up with fellow big-spending Premier League clubs such as Chelsea and Saudi Arabia’s trolley-dash, but says the Reds will not use money as an excuse this season.
The German boss has seen Chelsea pip his team to the signatures of both Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia this week for eye-watering transfer fees, while two of his most experienced players - Jordan Henderson and Fabinho - jetted off to Saudi clubs.
And Klopp says it is now difficult to compete with the likes of Chelsea and clubs in the Gulf state.
