Brendan Rodgers: 'Players reluctant to move to Liverpool'

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers claims that some of the club's transfer targets have been reluctant to move to Merseyside.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has insisted that the club's transfer policy will pay dividends.

The Reds are 15 points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea, who beat them 2-1 when the sides met at Anfield on Saturday.

Rodgers has claimed that his established transfer targets are reluctant to move to Merseyside.

"The club has done everything they could over the course of the summer to get the players to come here," he told The Times.

"In football terms, players look for more than that. They look for social factors, where they want to live.

"We can't control that. If someone gets offered, say, more money to come here than elsewhere but they want to go to London, there is not much you can do about that."

Liverpool return to action against Crystal Palace on November 23.
