The £40m deadline-day signing is in line for a first Reds start at Leicester in Tuesday’s Carabao up tie.
Klopp has so far restricted the former Arsenal man to just 57 minutes across three substitute appearances – 45 of those in a damage-limitation exercise at Manchester City following Sadio Mane’s red card.
And ahead of the Leicester game, he said: “We are working on it. We are obviously together with him and the analysts to show him how we want to play him in this position and in that position.
“So there is work to do but there is no rush. That is how it is but it is really good that he is here.
“Of course it is always better – and next year it will be like this – if a new player comes in for the [start of] the season at least, if not for the pre-season. That would be even better.
“When the season starts, now we are really in this three-games-per-week rhythm and during the international break he was with the national team. So it is not easy and it takes time.
“But already at the weekend [against Burnley], he came on in a difficult situation and he did really well.”
