The midfield, led by captain Jordan Henderson, is varied. Klopp has options from the creativity of Naby Keita to the energy of Dutch international Georginio Wijnaldum.
In the most recent transfer window, it was announced that striker Daniel Sturridge would leave the club on a free transfer after scoring 67 goals in 160 appearances.
