Liverpool boast brilliant attacking depth and will be further boosted by Diaz returning to full fitness this season.

Szoboszlai can also operate out wide as well as in midfield, which will give Klopp another top-quality option.

As for Doak, the youngster has caught the eye during Liverpool’s pre-season tour of the Far East and could establish himself as a first-team player under Klopp this season.

Of course, Gakpo has also performed well since making the switch from PSV back in January, with the Dutchman finding his feet towards the end of the season.

There’s plenty of work to be done for Liverpool in the transfer market as Klopp looks to replace Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.

But the Liverpool boss will be encouraged by today’s display as his side seem to be heading in the right direction.
