Jurgen Klopp has made one final request to Liverpool as he has urged the club to make one key signing after he leaves the club in the summer.
Klopp shocked the footballing world when he announced he would be leaving the club at the end of the season after nine years at the helm.
The German has become like part of the furniture at Anfield since he took over from Brendan Rodgers in 2015 so his presence will be severely missed by all those at Liverpool.
One of Klopp's greatest assets is his ability to identify talent, with Andy Robertson, Mo Salah, and Sadio Mane all exceeding all expectations at the club.

Due to this success, it has been revealed that Klopp may still have a say in who Liverpool target in the transfer market even after he leaves the club at the end of the season.
Reports from TEAMtalk suggest that Klopp believes Liverpool should make an effort to sign Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Ait-Nouri has a contract until 2026, but Liverpool could be faced with an obstacle if they pursue the deal as the Algerian international reportedly has a 50% sell-on clause from his former club Angers.
This is likely to inflate the Wolves asking price, as they will look to cash in as much as possible on the 22-year-old if they are to sell this summer.
Ait-Nouri has made 21 Premier League starts this season, bagging one goal and providing one assist in the process.
The 22-year-old defender has been playing as a left wing-back for Gary Oneil's side this season which interestingly would fit the system of Xabi Alonso, who is rumoured to be Liverpool's top managerial target. Maybe Klopp knows something we don't.
Manchester United are also reportedly monitoring Ait-Nouri's situation, but it is understood he is happy at Wolves, but a big offer could be enough to tempt the defender into a move.
