Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is taking it slow with the club's new signings.

The Reds have signed the likes of Thiago Alcantara, Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas this summer.

Fans want to see more of the club's new faces, but Klopp wants to ensure they are integrated properly into the first team.

Klopp spoke ahead of Liverpool's Monday night Premier League clash with Arsenal.

He told the club website: "The three new players – don't forget Kostas – came in a team which worked pretty well before. So there's no rush, there's no need that we say, 'OK, if you don't play tomorrow then we have no chance, absolutely no chance.'

"That's absolutely good because that takes all the hectic out as much as we can. That's something we really like – that we can bring them in the right moment, in the right situations.

"[Against Lincoln], when Diogo came on, I didn't stand there and explain now, 'You have to be exactly here or there.' I wanted him to be as natural as possible – and he was.

"I really liked that. I saw a lot of the things which he's really good in – his behaviour between the lines, physically really strong, it's difficult to get him off the ball and all these kind of things. He knows where the goal is, so he tries to finish the situations off.

"So that's the first thing I always say, 'Come on, be yourself.' And then we start working on a few things and then hopefully you can be even better than before."
