Liverpool No2 Colin Pascoe has assured fans work is underway during the January market.

Pascoe pledged that hard work is underway to identify potential recruits.

"The scouts and everyone behind the scenes are looking at players, which players to bring into Liverpool Football Club," the assistant manager told reporters on Friday.

"It's always ongoing, not just in January or in the summer. It's always ongoing. We'll be looking at different players and I'm sure there are targets, if we want or need them, to bring in.

"You get your targets, whatever you want, you go out and assess certain things - nothing changes.

"At any club, you will get injuries. Unfortunately for us, we had one or two close together. But all the targets we are looking for will still remain the same."
