Liverpool are reportedly willing to splurge another £47m in the January transfer window on a triple signing which they hope will turn their campaign around.

Brendan Rodgers is coming under scrutiny, with last season's Premier League runners-up currently 12th in the table and struggling in the Champions League.

This is despite £133m worth of squad investment made in the summer to compensate for the loss of Luis Suarez to Barcelona, but The Metro claims that Rodgers will be backed again in the New Year.

The Reds boss hopes to persuade experienced goalkeeper Petr Cech to make the switch from Chelsea, and also apparently has his eyes on £10m-rated Norwich City winger Nathan Redmond.

A striker remains a priority considering Daniel Sturridge's injury problems and Mario Balotelli's shortage of goals, with £30m Porto hitman Jackson Martinez believed to be Rodgers's top target.
