Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted that the club need to add "more depth and a bit more quality" at the end of the season.
Rodgers, who moved to Anfield from Swansea City last summer, has led the club to seventh position in his first season in charge, but they are 10 points off the top four.
"I just think we need a bit more depth and a bit more quality. The players this year have done very well. I have asked everything of them and, in the main, they have done very well," he told Sky Sports News.
"The majority of the time there have not been too many performances where I have been really disappointed. The club respect where we need to strengthen and where we need to improve.
"We have seen from the last window in January, we got our business done early and brought in two outstanding players in Sturridge and Coutinho. Hopefully we will have a similar impact in the summer. If we can do that, that will make me really happy with the group going forward."
Liverpool face Everton in the league on Sunday.
