Liverpool star Diogo Jota has outlined the challenge that his boss Jurgen Klopp is facing this season.

The Reds have revamped a great deal of their squad over the past two summer transfer windows.

Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Fabinho all left the club having won trophies under Klopp.

"This year we made a lot of changes, especially in the midfield," said the Portugal international, per the Liverpool Echo.

"That is a very important and key area in the way we play. We also got a lot of players for the forward line in the last couple of years and I think people and clubs need to develop.

"Normally, what changes a lot is the manager, but in Liverpool it is not the case and we know Jurgen is the right man and has the capacity to take us forward. Now is the moment where we have started with a completely different team than eight years ago (when Klopp was appointed). That's a challenge for him and for us. We had a good start and we want to carry on.

"It is a matter of changing the mentality as well. The players who left were important players off the pitch as well. Hendo was the captain and we need to adapt to a new era, a new captain and new players."
