Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed the Reds are looking to bring in players in the summer transfer window, who are hungry and willing to succeed at Anfield.
The former Swansea manager saw the Merseyside club's title chances derail in the final few games of the season, losing the Premier League title to Manchester City at the end. The Northern Irishman is keen on avoiding such situation for the upcoming season.
Liverpool have already signed Rickie Lambert from Southampton and has agreed a deal in principle of Emre Can with Bayer Leverkusen. With the Anfield club returning to the Champions League, Rodgers has set his sights on winning the league title next season.
“What we do need to do to ensure we kick on? We need to ensure we continue with our thinking in terms of the types of players we're going to bring in,” Rodgers told the Liverpool ECHO.
“We want to bring in players who are hungry. They must have the ambition to want to come in and succeed here. We need players who there can be no doubts about their quality."
“We're in a position now where we're going straight into the group stage of the Champions League and we’re going into the Premier League next season with an expectation and a belief that we can win the league."
“We need players that have those qualities. That belief, players who are willing to improve and who are hungry to improve themselves."
“If we can get a number of signings with that profile then we can go on and build on last season," Liverpool manager concluded.
According to reports, Ashley Cole may retire from football next year, but Liverpool are interested in signing him after Chelsea allowed the former England international to leave Stamford Bridge on a free transfer. Meanwhile, the Reds are also hoping Southampton star Adam Lallana will force a transfer to Anfield this summer.
