Liverpool icon Alan Hansen believes the club can still attract quality signings this summer, despite the lack of Champions League football.

Hansen thinks two or three quality additions could get Liverpool back challenging alongside Manchester United and Chelsea.

"Liverpool are still Liverpool - they're still massive and they still have the greatest support in the world," the Scot told Radio City.

"Liverpool have got to forget what's gone before and concentrate on what's ahead of them.

"It's going to be difficult but I'd look at 1986-87 when Everton won the league and we came second. I knew we were a long way short. Kenny Dalglish knew that too and he brought in Barnes, Beardsley, Aldridge, Spackman and Houghton.

"That turned it around like you'd never believe. We went from not being nearly good enough to being a great side.

"Hopefully that can happen to this Liverpool side because they've got some great players. If they can just get two or three more in who can do a job."
