Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has one eye on planning for next season

Klopp, it is believed, is set to be handed the biggest transfer fund of any Liverpool manager this summer.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists defeat in the Capital One Cup final has not influenced his opinion of the players he has at his disposal despite admitting he is already planning for next season.

The loss on penalties to Manchester City, whom they meet again in the Premier League on Wednesday, was a blow but the Reds boss is adamant it will not overly-affect his long-term view of the squad.
