Zeljko Buvac is reportedly a contender to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal, but Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was giving nothing away.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has refused to comment on speculation linking assistant Zeljko Buvac with the upcoming vacancy at Arsenal.

Reports in the Bosnian press indicated on Tuesday that Buvac was a surprise contender to replace Arsene Wenger, who is leaving Emirates Stadium at the end of the season.

There has also been speculation in the media that Klopp and Buvac - who will not be involved with Liverpool's first team for the remainder of the season for personal reasons - have fallen out.

"We gave a club statement on that and that's all we will say at the moment - nothing else," Klopp told reporters.

"It's something for later," Wijnaldum said. "I'm here to speak about the game and not other things."

Buvac served as Klopp's assistant at both Mainz and Borussia Dortmund and has worked with the German throughout his tenure at Anfield.
