Reds set to bolster squad

(01-11-2010) Liverpool could sign as many as six players in the January transfer window, reckons under-fire boss Roy Hodgson. The Merseysiders have had their worst ever start to a Premiership campaign and were languishing in the relegations zone until two recent wins lifted them to 12th place. Now Hodgson wants to bolster his resources, starting with his strikeforce. "We are going to be very interested in improving our squad in January," the 63-year-old Englishman told the Daily Star newspaper on Sunday. "I'm prepared to accept that a number of players we're looking to sign do make five or six - but I don't wish to specify positions other than one is obviously a front player.” He added: "Having three front players at the club, and that's if you include Ryan Babel, is nowhere near good enough."
