Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that he intends to sign a number of new players before the closure of the transfer window on 2nd September. 

The Reds have already roped in four players this summer namely Kolo Toure, Iago Aspas, Simon Mignolet and Luis Alberto.

However, Rodgers is interested in conducting further transfer business for the upcoming campaign.

The former Swansea boss intends to add more firepower to his side's attacking areas in addition to providing back-up for a number of positions which he feels are thin at the moment.

Rodgers believes that by the end of this month he will have a squad at his disposal which can compete for a Champions League spot.

"We're always looking to evolve the squad, to improve the group", he was quoted as saying by the club's official site.

"We still have some business to do to bring in a few more players. By the end of August I hope that we will have a squad that will be ready to compete and challenge for the top four.

"We need one or two players to cover positions where we're a little bit short, and also probably looking to bring in maybe one or two in the attacking areas. We'll see how that goes.

"The window is still open until the end of this month. We did very well in the early part of the window, when we got four players in - which I'm extremely happy about. If we can add a few more that would be really good for us.

"The measure will always be Champions League for Liverpool, there's no disguising that. That will always be the case and I believe we have a really good chance of doing that."

The manager further added that it will be a tough challenge to finish in the top four but he is optimistic about reaching his objective.

"The challenge is very difficult; some of the teams that were already ahead of us have spent massively over the course of the summer again.

"The challenge is still there, it's a very difficult challenge, but we mustn't be frightened of it. We don't see it as a threat, if anything it's an opportunity for us."
