Andoni Iraola has appeared to send an emphatic message to the Liverpool hierarchy in relation to the club’s summer transfer business.The Reds have added two new faces to their squad since the end of last season in Jeremy Jacquet and Victor Munoz, although depth in a few positions has been lessened by high-profile exits (Mo Salah, Andy Robertson) and long-term injuries (Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley).DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL EMPIRE OF THE KOP APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!

We know this; we are working on this. As a coach I want the players here from day one, selfishly, but we know it doesn’t work like this.

We’re working hard for those signings.”Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
