Jurgen Klopp showed off his Beatles fandom in his Liverpool press conference on Friday and while the German's Anfield overhaul is beginning to bear fruit on the field, this summer will mark his first chance to really stamp his mark on the Reds' playing staff.

Joel Matip and Marko Grujic are already heading for Melwood, while persistent rumours surround the potential arrival of Klopp's former Dortmund star Mario Gotze from Bayern Munich.
A string of Klopp signings will surely mean the end of several current Liverpool stars, with Christian Benteke and Joe Allen both expected to be made available.
However, one surprise name on the chopping block is that of club captain Jordan Henderson.
An integral part of the side over the past three seasons, Henderson has become an England regular and was made skipper by former manager Brendan Rodgers following the departure of Steven Gerrard.
But the midfielder has struggled with injury this season and with reported interest from Tottenham and West Ham, Klopp could move on from the 25-year-old and recoup a fee in excess of the £20million paid for Henderson five years ago.
Meanwhile, Benteke has also been linked with West Ham, and with the Mirror claiming that Italian giants Juventus are also keen on the Belgian frontman, Liverpool could yet escape from the ill-fated £32.5million signing without too much of a loss.
