Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: 'I will not sign Borussia Dortmund players'

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists that he does not intend to poach players from former club Borussia Dortmund in the foreseeable future.

New Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has insisted that he does not intend to sign players from former club Borussia Dortmund in the near future.

The Premier League side have been heavily linked with Marco Reus and Ilkay Gundogan since the appointment of ex-Dortmund boss Klopp last week, with the German boss said to be keen to take them to Anfield.

However, Klopp has stated that he is not planning to launch a raid on his old side when the transfer window opens again in the New Year.

"I have no intention whatsoever to lure Dortmund's stars to Liverpool," the 48-year-old told Bild. "I am not interested in how much money I will be allowed to spend in January.

"It is only October and I don't even know how many games there are left until the winter. But we clearly have plenty of games left and we will be taking a look at our own players first."

Klopp will take charge of Liverpool for the first time at Tottenham Hotspur this Saturday.
