Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola acknowledged Tuesday that the Premier League champions still have work to do in the transfer market after key departures and a growing injury list exposed areas that need strengthening.
The Reds have added Jeremy Jacquet and Victor Munoz this summer, but the departures of Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate, coupled with injuries to Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni, have left the squad short in several positions.
"It is difficult to say a number (of players needed) when the market is open, and you have to always be open to new options to improve the squad," the Spaniard told reporters in Chicago.
"There are obvious situations where we know we need to sign players. A winger, for example. We definitely need to sign a winger.
"But there are other situations where we will have to analyze what the market gives us, what the cost is and how we also assess the players we have. We have some tricky positions where we have injured players that we trust, but it is still not the ideal situation."
