Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says he has board backing to buy this month.

Rodgers has received assurances there was money available in January to strengthen the squad.

"We had a good chat Friday night. I am very happy with everything they said," said Rodgers.

"If there are players available that we can get here then we will be able to do that business but I've known that for a number of months."
