Jürgen Klopp says Chelsea managers usually get what they want when it comes to buying players

Photograph: Henry Nicholls/AFPJürgen Klopp said that Chelsea managers usually get what they want as Liverpool braced themselves for the disappointment of missing out on the signing of Brighton’s Moisés Caicedo.
Liverpool agreed a £110 million deal for the Ecuador midfielder on Thursday but he looks certain to head to Stamford Bridge in a deal worth £115 million. Chelsea were understood to be finalising the transfer before hosting Klopp’s side on Sunday, and are set to break the British transfer record for the second time in six months.
Klopp has been desperate to sign a midfielder this summer – the flaws were evident as his side opened their campaign with an entertaining 1-1 draw against Mauricio Pochettino’s side – and they also risk missing out to Chelsea in the battle to sign Southampton’s Roméo Lavia. Chelsea have spent heavily under their Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership and Pochettino wants to strengthen his squad further. “That’s what each Chelsea manager wants and usually they get it,” Klopp said.
