Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists that he will only sign players that have the 'hunger' to play for the club.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that he will not sign any players that care more about their wage packet than they do about playing for Liverpool.

Rodgers is hopeful of adding to his squad in the January transfer window but the former Swansea City boss has insisted that he will only sign players that are "hungry" to play at Anfield.

Rodgers told Sky Sports News: "You have to get hungry players in who want to work and want to fight to be successful - that is the biggest thing for me.

"They will get a good contract coming here but if they want to argue over money, and other things that go around it, I don't want them here. In my experience those players will eventually let you down anyway.

"So, for us, it is about getting players in who are hungry to succeed and to pull on the shirt."

Liverpool have been linked with moves for Chelsea's Daniel Sturridge and Blackpool's Thomas Ince.
