Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool are already working on summer signings - and hes not afraid of bringing in players on the same level as his current squad. The Liverpool boss, who took over from Brendan Rodgers in October, is about to embark on his first summer transfer window at Anfield, but is refusing to name any of the clubs targets.Klopp insists he is looking forward to improving his current crop during pre-season training - and feels even if the club can bring in a similar standard of player this summer then it could help to push the team forwards. Jurgen Klopp wont prioritise Liverpools Europa League final above their Premier League match against Chelsea You need to be a little bit more independent from the injury situation, he said in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports News HQ.When we have a good pre-season and when we can give the boys a good base, it should be different, really different. You can never be sure, so of course we need players. Well try to find players that will give us the opportunity to become better.If they are better then good, but if they are the same level that would be really good too. Then we can push each other onto another level.Klopp has targets in mind - and explained he wants footballers who understand the value of playing for a big club like Liverpool. If they are better then good, but if they are the same level that would be really good too. Then we can push each other onto another level. Jurgen Klopp He added: First of all, its not the time to speak about this in public. We work on it, of course, but theres nothing to say at this moment.In the end I hope I have a team together who likes working together and who likes working for Liverpool and who feels the responsibility about the club and the power of this club.If we can do this then we can be really strong and we can win something - but I dont know what. Jurgen Klopp celebrates during the famous win over Borussia Dortmund Klopp has guided the club to the Capital One Cup final and the Europa League final in his first season and after famous wins such as the 4-3 success over Borussia Dortmund, he says there is reason for optimism as the season draws to a close.We feel good in this moment, he said. There is a very optimistic atmosphere around Melwood and there is a lot of good reasons for that.Weve had a few brilliant games. Its not usual that you have games like this in a really good season. I dont know where we will end this season and which position we will have in the table, but we had moments to remember for a long, long time. Klopp expects Jordan Henderson to back for Euro 2016 but doubts hell be ready for the Europa League final Thats good and its only because the players played how they played. Im fine with the progress.Theres a lot to do, of course. We need more stability, less goals conceded, but goalscoring is quite good. Of course we miss chances so we could improve there.For the moment its absolutely okay. This team is really able to win against each other team. Not on every day, so we have to work on this, but on a lot of days - so that is good.Jurgen Klopps Liverpool play Chelsea live on Sky Sports 2 on Wednesday evening from 7.55pm.

With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position. DETROIT -- Justin Verlander habitually gives the Kansas City Royals fits. Danny Duffy has done that to everyone over the past three months.Their matchup at Comerica Park on Tuesday, when the Detroit Tigers play host to the Royals, has all the makings of a stellar pitching duel.Verlander (12-6, 3.42 ERA) has re-established himself as the Tigers ace, and he enters his 25th start of the season in top form. He has recorded six consecutive quality outings, including a seven-inning performance at Seattle on Wednesday when he held the Mariners to one run.Matched against Mariners ace Felix Hernandez that night, Verlander wound up with a no-decision. Verlander, who hasnt lost since June 26 against the Cleveland Indians, could face a similar situation on Tuesday.Most pitchers, when their counterpart is well-known or one of the better pitchers in the league, it gives you a little more adrenaline, Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. I think that probably happened when Verlander and Felix pitched against each other.Verlander ranks second in the America League in strikeouts with 170 and fourth in opponents batting average at .216.The Royals know all too well how effective Verlander can be. He has 22 career wins against them, the most by an active pitcher. He also won both of his starts against Kansas City this season while notching 17 strikeouts.Duffy isnt focused on the pitching matchup.Its fun competing against those guys in general, Duffy said. I dont look at who Im going up against because I dont have to get him out.Duffy (9-1, 2.82 ERA) was moved into the rotation on May 15 and has emerged as the RRoyals most reliable arm.dddddddddddd He is 9-1 with a 2.79 ERA as a starter, including his current eight-game winning streak. He recorded his first career complete game in his last start against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday.Ive been really simplified with everything. It sounds super boring, but thats just kind of where Im at, he said. Trust is crucial. Trusting your stuff and trusting whos behind you. I have all of that. I trust my stuff, and I trust my boys.Duffy is 4-6 with a 3.43 ERA in 16 career outings against Detroit, including four appearances this season.Hes always had great stuff, and he seems to have pitched well against us for the most part, Ausmus said. The big thing is hes really throwing strikes now. Hes always had a real good fastball, but hes throwing strikes and hes become what a lot of people thought he would be, a dominant left-handed starter.Ausmus club has been hit hard by injuries recently, and another one cropped up to a premier player on Monday. First baseman Miguel Cabrera left the Tigers 3-1 loss to the Royals prior to the fifth inning with a left biceps strain. He was injured reaching for an errant throw by starting pitcher Daniel Norris in the first inning.Ausmus considers the injury minor and said Cabrera might even return to the lineup for Tuesday nights game. Detroit already has three starting position players on the disabled list -- center fielder Cameron Maybin, third baseman Nick Castellanos and shortstop Jose Iglesias. ' ' '
