Rodgers keen to improve squad

Brendan Rodgers has insisted that Liverpool are confident of bringing in quality players at the end of the season.

The Reds boss told Talksport that, while there are “top players” at the club, he will do all he can to move the club on to the next level.

Elsewhere, the 40 year old has expressed his desire for Jamie Carragher to do a U-Turn on his decision to retire from playing at the end of the season.

The former England international has played a key part since establishing himself in the first team this season, helping the Reds keep clean sheets in eleven of his last fifteen league appearances.

Meanwhile, Arsenal seem to have gained the edge in the race to sign Swansea City defender Ashley Williams.

The Gunners have reportedly opened talks with representatives of the Wales captain regarding a potential £12 million move.

Following his man-of-the-match performance in the goalless draw with Liverpool on Saturday, the club have been linked with a move for Reading’s Alex McCarthy.

The 23 year old made a string of saves to deny the Reds all three points, and has been praised by Rodgers, who may move for him as he remains on the look-out for a new goalkeeper.
