Former Liverpool defensive midfielder Dietmar Hamann thinks Jurgen Klopp will make the Reds an attractive proposition in the summer.
The German boss, who took charge of Liverpool in October, has managed to make his mark at Anfield.
Despite Liverpool finishing eighth in the Premier League, Klopp managed to guide the club to the finals of the League Cup and the Europa League, both of which they lost to Manchester City and Sevilla respectively.
However, the Merseyside giants put in some memorable performances in the continental competition which included a thrilling come-from-behind win against Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals.
And Hamann feels Liverpool’s impressive displays in Europe, coupled with the lure of playing under Klopp will make players want to join the club.

“This summer Jurgen Klopp will be working hard to make sure he adds to his squad”, he said in the latest issue of Liverpool’s magazine.
“The run in the Europa League and the nature of the victories, with some fabulous nights at home, will have made many players take notice.
“They’ll realise that Liverpool seem to be improving and being part of that is an attractive proposition. The same applies to Klopp: players will want to work under him because he is such an impressive manager.”
Hamann went on to add that Liverpool need to improve their squad over the summer if they seriously want to mount a challenge for the top four next season.
“Football clubs are forever building or re-building teams – the process never stops no matter what you achieve”, he added.
“Even if you do win something you always need to try to improve the squad, as your rivals will be doing exactly that.
“Right now, Liverpool clearly have some improvements to make if the club is to move up the league table and put together a sustained challenge for the top four next season.
“To do that, you need a squad of talented players. There are some of those present already; now more need to be added.”
