Iraola: Liverpool Have Signed Two, But We Need More

New Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has confirmed the club has completed two summer signings so far, but insists the transfer work is far from over. “We have already signed two players, but we need more. We understand that perfectly. The club is working on it,” Iraola told ESPN. “As a coach, of course I selfishly would like all the new arrivals to be here from the first day of preseason and start training immediately. But I understand that football doesn’t work that way. I know the club is doing everything possible to finalize these transfers, and I’m also trying to help.” The Spanish boss also acknowledged the immense spotlight that comes with managing a club of Liverpool’s stature: “I understand this is a huge club. Everything I say will be under close scrutiny, so I have to be very careful with my words and avoid mistakes. But I don’t want to be overly cautious. I want to stay true to myself. We just talked about it — I’m not going to live in a bubble, just going from the training ground to home.” Earlier reports indicated Liverpool are actively pursuing additional targets to strengthen the squad ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
