Rodgers says Liverpool still shopping for new striker

After victory over Southampton, Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits he needs to find a new striker.

Daniel Sturridge did his best to ensure Luis Suarez, now with Barcelona, will not be missed with the winner 10 minutes from time after Nathaniel Clyne had cancelled out Raheem Sterling's first-half opener - although Rodgers is still in the market for a top-quality striker.

"Our ambitions here at Liverpool have to be bigger than one player," said the Reds boss in relation to Suarez.

"He sent us a lovely text this morning wishing us all the best, which was a great gesture. He is a friend now of Liverpool.

"I texted him back. It's a real love in! He's a great boy but he is gone now.

"We do still want another striker but that will depend on the availability. Today was about winning and we got there."
