Asked how the club can ensure they lift the Premier League trophy again, he told the Anfield Wrap: \u201cThis season, we all start from scratch. I think everyone has tried to improve their teams \u2013 and we as well, I think we\u2019ve done great additions to the team so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cLet\u2019s see what happens for the rest of the transfer window. But I think it\u2019s all down to hard work, showing our quality and consistency and we all know how difficult that is. So we will focus on ourselves and the hard work is obviously already going \u2013 we work so hard in training, double sessions in the heat and humidity here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Asked about the new signings, the Liverpool captain added: \u201cComing to Liverpool, they will definitely have the quality to play for Liverpool. For me, it\u2019s very important as well how you settle in the group and how you fit into the squad that we have, and I think they did perfectly well.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2_Newcastle-United-FC-v-Everton-FC-Premier-League.jpg\" alt=\"Alexander Isak of Newcastle United looks on during the Premier League match between Newcastle United FC and Everton FC at St James' Park\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Alexander Isak has made it clear he wants to leave Newcastle(Image: George Wood, Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cAll of them. We don\u2019t speak about Armin \u2013 a young goalie who just came out of nowhere \u2013 has settled in pretty well. Obviously Freddie, Giorgi, Flo, Jeremie. Hugo came today of course. Everyone has to work hard and we\u2019re all in this together, that\u2019s the main thing. We have to fight for everything that\u2019s ahead of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Fellow senior pro Andy Robertson has been impressed by what he\u2019s seen too. He told the club website: \u201cThe lads already have settled in really well. Obviously Hugo has just come in so we\u2019ll have our first dinner with him tonight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">\u201cBut Jeremie, Milos, Gio, Flo have all really settled in quite quickly and it\u2019s as if they\u2019ve been here for months now, which is pleasing. It\u2019s just up to them to then understand the standards of playing with Liverpool, and I think they\u2019re getting to grips with that already.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \"><a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/KpLVIG1AXsd0FvfduhjjzO\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Join our new WhatsApp community <\/a>and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
