Liverpool news: Jurgen Klopp is happy to have Philippe Coutinho

Coutinho was a top target for Barca over the summer but Liverpool refused to sell.

They rejected three bids for his services despite the player handing in a transfer request.

And Kop boss Klopp has now revealed all about how the saga was handled in the dressing room.

"It's just good to have him here," Klopp said.

"I don't think we have to talk about who handled which situation what way - at the end we are professionals and we take it like it is.

"He's obviously in a really good shape. That's good for us and the only thing that's important.

"The team was really happy when he was back, no discussions about why and what. That's professional football, we're not non-league anymore.

"There are offers for different players, sometimes people think about it and sometimes not. That's absolutely normal.

“But being 100 per cent with where you are when decisions have been made - that's the only way life works, and football is no different.

"He is here with us 100 per cent and that's really cool."
