Goal has reported that the Liverpool boss is not interested in signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, despite the German manager already having a great relationship with the player. 

Aubameyang, 28, is yet to score in 2018, however, his ability is undoubted and inevitably he has attracted the interest of Europe's elite such as Arsenal. Despite his natural goalscoring ability, the German manager has decided against signing the player.

When asked about the Dortmund striker, Klopp had this to say: "He is a great player but he does not play in the position for which we urgently need new players.". 

Liverpool currently sit fourth within the Premier League and have scored 54 goals in the process, the second highest within the division behind Manchester City.

Therefore, with the likes of Salah, Firmino and Mane in their attacking ranks, Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool won't be needing another striker.

Following Liverpool's shock defeat to West Brom, the Reds will look to bounce back as they take on Huddersfield away from home in their next fixture.
