Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that he will have money to spend on players in the January transfer window.

The Merseyside club's attacking options have dwindled following their inability to sign a new striker in the summer window after loaning out Andy Carroll to West Ham United.

"Everyone sees that we need to add that goal threat to the team," Rodgers told the club's official website.

"It will always be the case that I'll be able to bring in the players of my choice. Obviously there'll be money available to do that in January.

"The scouting team are out there now compiling lists and looking at targets that we can hopefully bring in. If they are affordable and available then hopefully we can bring in that support that can help the group."

Frontman Fabio Borini has also added to Liverpool's forward woes after it was confirmed that the Italian would be sidelined for three months with a foot injury.
