Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has expressed his desire to act quickly during the January transfer window.

The Reds have been linked with interest in Chelsea forward Daniel Sturridge and Blackpool's Thomas Ince in recent weeks.

While Rodgers does not wish to discuss individuals, he admits that strengthening his side's attack is his main priority.

"I think we will hopefully be able to do business at the beginning," he said. "That was our strategy coming out of August - that we could get that support at the beginning of the month. That's the idea and if we could do that it would be a big boost for us.

"I have always thought that if you have three-and-a-half goalscorers in your team, you have got a chance.

"We have got Luis Suarez, and Steven Gerrard will get goals. If we can add a couple more who instinctively get into the box and get goals, with the domination that we are having in games, then we have got a chance in the second half of the season."

Liverpool have scored 18 goals in 14 Premier League matches this season.
