Brendan Rodgers has warned that Liverpool FC may have to wait until the summer to bring in new signings if the right deals can’t be done in January.

The Reds boss remains keen to make additions during the current window but is only interested in top class talent.

Having bolstered the depth of the squad last summer, the focus now is on improving the starting XI.

If players of that calibre aren’t available this month then Rodgers is happy to wait until the end of the campaign.

Asked if he was confident of getting what he wanted in the January transfer market, Rodgers said: “I’ll be confident over the next few windows.

“You saw last January we were fully prepared for what we needed and we got that business done early.

“We are fully prepared this time also. A lot of great work has gone in to prepare for this January window but it all boils down to the availability of the players.

“Where we're at this January as opposed to last January is that the team has evolved and grown and developed. It's a different team to what it was last January.

“Now there is greater demand on the types of players that we want to bring in.

“They have to be available first and foremost. If the right player is available not just for now but for the future we will look to do that.

“If not we may have to go with what we've got for the rest of this season and reassess in the summer.”
