Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is eager to do some early transfer business.
Rodgers - who was named the LMA Manager of the Year on Monday night - is hoping to wrap up some signings before the World Cup starts next month, with Adam LallanaLiverpool's prime target.
"Ideally you would want to get things done beforehand," said Rodgers. "But transfers are so complex, especially if you are doing a big signing.
"I would rather have one or two absolute top players than seven that might not help us. It's about the quality."
