Jurgen Klopp looking to replace Simon Mignolet

JURGEN KLOPP is looking to replace Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet in January.

 

That is according to former Reds stopper Bruce Grobbelaar, who claims Klopp is keen on a number of keepers in the Bundesliga.

The former Borussia Dortmund boss has been linked with a move for either Bernd Leno, 23, and Timo Horn, 22, of Bayer Leverkusen and Cologne, respectively.

 

And Grobbelaar, who spent 13 years at Anfield between 1981 and 1994, expects a new goalkeeper to be one of the first arrivals when the window reopens in January.

"I've had my criticism of Mignolet for two or three years, I even got pulled in and asked not to criticise him so openly," Grobbelaar told talkSPORT.

The 58-year-old added: "I think he [Klopp] is looking at it [buying a replacement for Mignolet]. 

"There are a couple of goalkeepers in the German league that he is looking at so I can see that might be one of his first signings."
