I don’t think we need more.“Just at the moment I’m fine. The transfer market is open until the 31st of August.“We cannot force things and we would never get a centre-back just because someone is available. “Look out there and tell me five that would make us stronger. Then you win a prize! It’s difficult.“I’m happy. You can imagine we still work on different things and we will see if it works.“I am here to work with this squad and not just always thinking, ‘But if we don’t get this or this’.” Liverpool already have Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip, Ragnar Klavan and Mamadou Sakho on their books.They also have the versatile Joe Gomez, who is capable of operating at full-back or in the centre of a defensive unit.</blockquote>
