Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers rejects speculation that he could sign a "top player" in January.

Manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that it is unlikely Liverpool will sign a "top player" during the January transfer window.

Arsenal's Theo Walcott and Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge have both been linked with a move to Anfield but while Rodgers has admitted that he will add to his squad next month, he does not believe that Walcott or Sturridge will be arriving on Merseyside.

Rodgers told reporters: "I see lots of names bandied about that are pie in the sky because there won't be too many top players moving in January as clubs want top money.

"There is no doubt that we want to bring in goals and we want to bring in players who can assist in scoring goals.

"It is all about progress, and I believe we are making that, but you cannot solve all your problems in one leap."

Liverpool are currently sitting in 12th place in the Premier League table.
