Jurgen Klopp has claimed that Julian Ward's decision to step down as Liverpool's sporting director 'will have no impact' on their January transfer window.

Ward, last month, informed the club he will step down from his position at the end of the season despite only taking over from Michael Edwards at the end of the last campaign.

Some fans were left concerned with the timing of the announcement - with the January transfer window coming up - but Klopp reassured supporters that Ward remains '100 per cent committed' to the club.
