With Jordan Rossiter and Jerome Sinclair having already agreed to leave the club for Rangers and Watford respectively, and with Jose Enrique and Daniel Trickett Smith leaving earlier in the transfer window, the size of the first team squad is being significantly reduced.
Questions also remain over Joao Carlos Teixeira. The 23-year-old has been offered a new deal by Klopp – but he is yet to accept the terms on offer. The Echo report that he might decide to leave in order to find regular first-team football.
