Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre has confirmed that the club have money available to spend, but will only do so for the right player.

After a busy summer transfer window, many expected The Reds to bring in new faces in January, but as yet there have been no arrivals on Merseyside.

However the Anfield chief has stated that there are funds available if Kenny Dalglish requires them.

"Money is not an issue," Ayre told Sky Sports.

"If we need somebody and there's a player I think our owners have shown the level of commitment you would expect from a good ownership group that the manager will get supported whatever he needs.

"But that's not the same as saying we will just go spend money because we have got it or just because we can.

"It is about the long-term plan of where they want the squad and where they want the team to be, that's not about any particular transfer window it's about continuing to improve.

"If an opportunity presents itself I am sure we will look at it, but right now it's about keeping going and improving and getting the best out of what we have got.

"We have got some great players in a great squad of players and they are focused on pushing that forward," he concluded.
