Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers reveals that he has identified the positions that he believes need to be strengthened ahead of the new season.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that he is looking to improve his squad ahead of the new season.

Rodgers outlined his plans to the players and staff at the club's first pre-season training session yesterday, and identified the areas that need improvement.

However, the former Swansea boss was adamant that he would only bring in players that "fit the model" at Anfield.

"I've got a bunch of wonderful players here. I'm going to take time to have a look at that. I believe there's one or two areas that I'll need to improve on for sure, but overall the core of the group is strong," said Rodgers.

"But like any manager, you want to add the other pieces that can complete your jigsaw and that's something that we're doing over a period of time. This window for the summer, you either had to get your business in early or it was going to run over towards the end of the window, just purely because of all the games and holidays and championships and everything that was going on.

"We're doing a lot of work off the field in terms of potential players to come in, but it will only be a certain type of player that will fit the model here at Liverpool."

Rodgers has already missed out on Gylfi Sigurdsson after the Iceland international opted to join Tottenham Hotspur instead.
