Since his appointment as head coach in October 2015, Jurgen Klopp has overseen 14 transfer windows and the recruitment of 50 different players on permanent transfers.
The German and his recruitment staff are preparing for window number 15 next month with the Reds’ current top target understood to be England midfielder Jude Bellingham - but they look set to face competition from Manchester City and Real Madrid for the Borussia Dortmund star. The Birmingham native is already one of the highest regarded players in Europe and would almost certainly rank amongst the best business done during Klopp’s time in charge if they can get a deal completed.
Here, we look back at the 50 players who have been signed by the club during the 55-year old’s time in charge with many still playing an integral part in the first team at the Merseyside club. The signings range from world class stars who have helped the club win trophy after trophy to promising youngsters, some of who never made the grade and others who still have time to do so.
Here are all 50 Liverpool signings during Jurgen Klopp’s time in charge ranked from worst to best:
1. Bobby Duncan - signed summer 2018
Duncan was a stand out for Liverpool’s academy side but left Anfield in a storm of controversy amid bullying comments that the club have insisted are unfounded. The whole affair caused the promising attacker to depart Anfield for a move to Italy but his career has yet to take off. | Liverpool FC via Getty Images

The veteran keeper, previously of Juventus and Arsenal, signed a short term deal to provide cover and retired at the end of his single season at Anfield without making a first team appearance. | Arsenal FC via Getty Images
3. Andy Longergan - signed summer 2019
