Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists the club have done everything in their power to bring in new players in this transfer window.
Attacking midfielder Mohamed Salah, defender Andrew Robertson and young striker Dominic Solanke have all joined the club
But they have so far failed with their pursuit of another central midfielder and a centre back with Southampton's Virgil van Dijk and RB Leipzig's Naby Keita both remaining with their clubs.
Klopp maintains that the issues have not been a case of Liverpool being unprepared to meet valuations and wage demands of players, but clubs being unwilling to sell.
