Liverpool's Hodgson admits club is working hard to keep stars

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson says the club is working very hard to hold onto star players Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Javier Mascherano.

All three have been the subject of Anfield departures this summer and Hodgson is aware of the interest in them but says the club is doing everything to try and convince them to remain.

"We are working very hard on making certain the players we have at the club, who you would call the 'good players', are going to be with us for next season," said Hodgson.

"The board are working very hard in that area. Some players are a bit disenchanted after what happened last season and we want to make sure we get that enchantment back."
