Rodgers Update On January Transfer Plans

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed the club are working hard to identify targets as he looks to add to his strike-force this January.

The Reds currently find themselves short of options in attack after failing to sign a replacement for Andy Carroll in the summer and have also lost striker Fabio Borini for 3 months after the Italian picked up an injury while on International duty.

Rodgers has been linked with a whole host of names in recent weeks and admitted he and his scouting team are working hard to find players that could add quality to his strike-force.

The Northern Irishman claims money will be made available this January and should his targets be available, he won’t hesitate to add to his ranks this winter. Rodgers told Liverpoolfc.com:

“Everyone sees that we need to add that goal threat to the team.

“It will always be the case that I’ll be able to bring in the players of my choice. Obviously there’ll be money available to do that in January.

“The scouting team are out there now compiling lists and looking at targets that we can hopefully bring in.

“If they are affordable and available then hopefully we can bring in that support that can help the group.

“I’m confident of that. There will be one or two of our scouting network, along with myself, who will be looking at players.

“Whichever one of those players out of that group I want to go for, then we’ll do that.”
