Brighton is expected to accept Liverpool's formal offer for Moisés Caicedo, which was made tonight.

“With the player, we will have to see. Medical today? I can’t tell you, I don’t know”.

The first game of the season will be played on Sunday when Liverpool takes on Chelsea in the Premier League.

This Saturday against the Blues, Klopp hopes to have Moises Caicedo ready for his debut.

He added, "We give it a go and the club have really stretched it to be honest”.
