Rodgers looking to add talent and depth as re-building process continues at Anfield.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is looking for to improve the core of the team this summer, as he looks to build competition for places at the Premier League side in the coming months.
The club have already signed Kolo Toure from Manchester City, and are closing in on Celta Vigo forward Iago Aspas, with the team continuing in the long process of becoming challengers for a UEFA Champions League spot once again.
Rodgers told Sky Sports that while he is not expecting many more new arrivals at the club, the players that do come in will be good enough to start games for Liverpool straight away – and push the rest in order to break into the team.
Instead of signing a number of decent players capable of doing a job, Rodgers is after top players able to immediately improve Liverpool.

“You can flip it about, but we just need to build up the depth of the squad. I want people who might be disappointed because they’re not on the bench,” Rodgers said.
“At the minute we probably don’t have that so it’s competition we want to get.
“I don’t want a massive group. We want a tight group with a real core of 17 or 18 who feel they should always be playing and then supported by a few of our top young talents.”
With Rodgers entering his second season in charge, his biggest task is rebuilding a competitive side that can fight for the Premier League’s European places.
Whilst Liverpool will always be able to attract top talent thanks to their name and pedigree, convincing the best players to move to Anfield will be much easier if the club can offer UEFA Champions League football – and it is up to Rodgers to improve the side enough this summer to reach that goal.
