Iraola on more new signings and Liverpool star’s future at the club | OneFootball

New Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola says he is keen to bring in more new signings this summer.

The Reds have so far added winger Victor Munoz and defender Jeremy Jacquet in the transfer window, but Iraola says the club know more new additions are needed.

“Obviously we’ve signed two players already but we need more players,” he said. “We know this. The club is working on this.

“Me, as a coach, selfishly, you want the players here on day one, ready to train for pre-season.

“But we understand that football doesn’t work like this and I know that the club is working hard to get those signings and I am trying to help also.”

One player that has been linked with a move away from Anfield, meanwhile, is Harvey Elliott. The midfielder spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he barely played.

But Iraola says he will have a chance to prove himself again.

“Definitely. Harvey is here with us,” Iraola said. “I’ve seen him with this eagerness of showing himself and getting himself ready again. He will have a chance during pre season. We will need him.

“It’s a good sign, he came one week earlier, he has been training with the under 21s. I hope we can see him in a good place.

“Last season had to be very difficult for him. It was a strange situation where they couldn’t even put him to play. And I think he uses this, the bad situation he has experienced, to make him even more eager to be a Liverpool player.”
