Liverpool boss Rodgers: New signings must have hunger

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says they're seeking "hunger" from their new signings.

Rodgers is targeting players with both the "hunger" and "ambition" to make their mark at Anfield.

"What we do need to do to ensure we kick on? We need to ensure we continue with our thinking in terms of the types of players we're going to bring in," Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo.

"We want to bring in players who are hungry. They must have the ambition to want to come in and succeed here.

"We need players who there can be no doubts about their quality.

"We're in a position now where we're going straight into the group stage of the Champions League and we're going into the Premier League next season with an expectation and a belief that we can win the league.

"We need players that have those qualities. That belief, players who are willing to improve and who are hungry to improve themselves.

"If we can get a number of signings with that profile then we can go on and build on last season."
