Liverpool owner says Reds are “focused” on winning the Premier League

Liverpool owner John W. Henry says the Reds have set their sights on winning the Premier League in the upcoming 2019/20 campaign.

Jurgen Klopp’s side lifted the Champions League trophy at the start of June but were beaten to the league crown by Manchester City despite losing just one league match all season.

However, the Reds owner is confident the European Champions will push on for domestic glory in the season that lies ahead.

“To me winning in Europe is bigger than winning in England but I think it’s true the fans want it,” Henry said, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

“I know we’re going to be focused on winning the Premier League next year.”

On potential summer transfer activity, the American added: “We need to get healthy. We need AOC (Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain) back, we need a healthy (Adam) Lallana.

“It’s not up to me but I would guess we will see more of Divock (Origi) next year. I think he brings something special, he comes with power and speed and brings in scoring. I feel really good about next year.

“Our guys gave it their all from the first day of the season to the last. It’s a long season, they played up to their capabilities and just gave so much effort.

“It didn’t matter who the opponent was, they out-ran every opponent and I felt they deserved to walk away with a trophy.

“We walked away with the biggest one so I’m very happy.”
