Ahead of the game, the Liverpool boss has taken a dig at Chelsea for their extraordinary spending spree. Following the Blues’ takeover by Todd Boehly, they have already spent over £400 million over two transfer windows.
Mudryk became Chelsea’s fifth signing in January last weekend, arriving from Shakhtar Donetsk for a fee of around £88 million. Klopp has tipped the Ukraine international to make a big impact at the west London club.
However, the Liverpool boss has claimed that the Reds deal with their problems differently to the Blues. Klopp said, as quoted by The Liverpool Echo:
Graham Potter’s side have already completed five deals this month in the form of David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos, Benoit Badiashile, Mykhalio Mudryk and Joao Felix (on loan). Mudryk’s arrival represents the most exciting addition of the five recruits, but owner Todd Boehly is still far from done.
The Blues have seen a bid turned down by Brighton for Moises Caicedo, and are set to complete the signing of PSV winger Noni Madueke imminently.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have made just one addition this summer in the form of Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven for a fee between £35 and £45 million.
