Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp talks transfers, Lucas, Solanke

HONG KONG -- Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has told ESPN FC that attitude and character are two of the most important characteristics he looks for when recruiting players.

Klopp spent a club-record fee of around £39 million on Mohamed Salah to lure him away from Roma and brought in highly-rated youngster Dominic Solanke from Chelsea on a free transfer, while he has also been linked with moves for Virgil van Dijk and RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita.

The German manager sat down with ESPN FC for an exclusive interview at the team's luxurious Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the Kowloon district of Hong Kong to talk transfers and Liverpool's hopes for the season ahead.
