Liverpool will push ahead with interest in Borussia Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – after missing out on Memphis Depay.

There was disappointment at Anfield when it was announced Depay had agreed to join United in a £25m deal but they will push on immediately with their hunt for new attacking options.

Dortmund’s 25-year-old frontman Aubameyang is a long-term target.

He has a terrific eye for goal and also great pace, which is a key trait the club are looking for.

Aubameyang has been on the Reds’ radar since he left French side ­Saint-Etienne in 2013, and Liverpool will now enquire into a potential fee for the Gabon ­international.

There is hope that he could be tempted to leave in the wake of Jurgen Klopp’s decision to quit his German club.

Meanwhile, Burnley’s Danny Ings remains a target at a time when he prepares to decide his future.

He is available on a free transfer this summer and Liverpool hope to convince him that he would benefit from joining them instead of Manchester United.

Rodgers will see players heading through the exit door as well at the end of the season – and Roma are confident that they will sign Glen Johnson.

His contract at ­Liverpool is set to expire this summer and Johnson’s first club West Ham are showing interest.

But Italian outfit Roma have been monitoring his situation and have received encouraging news that Johnson would be interested in the prospect of playing in Rome, so will prepare an offer.
