Liverpool currently have just one fit senior striker, Luis Suarez, after Fabio Borini was injured whilst on international duty.

"Summer was a real learning experience here for everyone. Everyone sees we need to add to the goal threat of the team," said Rodgers.

"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. I'm confident of that. Myself and the scouting network are looking at players and whichever one we want to go for, then we will do that."
