Jurgen Klopp Has Final Say On Liverpool Transfer Decisions

Jurgen Klopp will have final say on new signings as manager of Liverpool.

Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre was reacting to media speculation over the influence of the club's transfer committee following the firing of Brendan Rodgers last month.

Klopp was forced to address the issue when he took over, maintaining that he would have "the first and the last word" on transfers.

Ayre is heavily involved in the player recruitment process but, speaking at the Web Summit in Dublin, he backed up Klopp's position.

"The words 'transfer committee' I think got used once and became this idea that we all sit around a table and have a vote on every player we sign," he said. "That couldn't be further from the truth.

"There's only one person has the final say on players at Liverpool Football Club. Right now that's Jurgen Klopp and that's always been the case -- certainly all the time I've been there."
