There are obvious situations that we know where we need to sign players. A winger, for example – we definitely need to sign a winger.“There are other situations that we will have to analyse what the market gives you, what’s the cost, how we also see the players we have.

We have some tricky positions where we have injured players that we trust but is still not the ideal situation, so it will depend on a lot of things.”When asked if he’d like to strengthen at right-back given the ongoing injury troubles for Conor Bradley, the head coach replied: “I think it’s a situation that is tricky, because we trust Conor in the long-term. We know we want him to be our right-back but right now he is still, I would say, a little bit far from returning.

“With the centre-back, with the right-back situation, in terms of defensive depth, I think we are very thin right now, so I think it’s a solution that we are trying to find, yes.”Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
