Klopp gives Salah insight as Endo makes honest Liverpool transfer admission

Liverpool are set to return to action on Sunday when they travel to Kenilworth Road to take on Premier League new boys Luton Town.

Jurgen Klopp's side will be keen to pick up a fifth straight victory in all competitions, while Luton will be hoping to produce a major shock and earn their second league victory. Liverpool have been in excellent form since last month's international break, starting their impressive run of form with a 2-0 Merseyside derby win over rivals Everton.

That was followed up by a 5-1 victory over Toulouse in the Europa League, a 3-0 league win against Nottingham Forest and a 2-1 triumph against Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup. Here is all the latest news from Anfield.

Klopp gives Salah insight

Mohamed Salah was the subject of major interest from Saudi Arabia over the summer, but the forward ultimately remained at Anfield and has been in stunning form for the Reds so far this season.

The 31-year-old has not allowed the speculation to affect his performance, having scored ten goals and provided four assists in 14 games across all competitions, and Klopp has hailed Salah's influence both on and off the pitch.

"I don't know anything about an offer," Klopp said. "Mo is here. I didn't think a second about it. Yes, he's here and playing extremely well. You can see he enjoys the team a lot. He's in good shape. Off the pitch, even better."

Endo's honest admission

Wataru Endo has admitted he was "surprised" by his move to Liverpool this summer, with the 30-year-old one of four new midfielders Klopp signed following the departures of Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Endo said: "I thought I still had the chance to talk to a team. I'm not young but all of the top teams can sign youngsters in the first position but if they didn't get the chance to sign the young players maybe they want experienced players.

"That's what I was thinking in the summer, and that actually happened. I was a bit surprised. I really wanted to move but it was the end of August and I was like, maybe I don't get the chance. I was a bit surprised."

Luis Diaz is back training with Liverpool after his father was kidnapped in Colombia, with the country's rebel National Liberation Army saying they will release him "as soon as possible".

"He was in training two days ago, he had a session yesterday, and will be part of the team," Klopp said when asked about Diaz. "We must wait – if he feels right he will be here and train with us. The session he had with us, you could see that when he is with the boys it is fine, it's OK. But you could see as well that he didn't sleep a lot.

"We have just to see how he is and then we go from there. The news from Colombia is good, everything that gives us a little bit of hope is good. We are waiting actually for the really good news, but that's it pretty much. I cannot really say what we will do because we just wait where we can pick up the boy from and go from there."
