Brendan Rodgers has revealed that his attempts to strengthen Liverpool's squad are being held up by the high prices quoted for his transfer targets.
Rodgers signed Joe Allen from his former club Swansea on Friday after meeting a £15 million release clause in the midfielder's contract but the only other signing Liverpool have made this summer is striker Fabio Borini, brought in from Roma for £11 million.
Rodgers wants to make further additions, with Fulham attacker Clint Dempsey among the options he is considering. But the Northern Irishman says that he has been asked to pay inflated prices for players since arriving at Anfield from Swansea in June.
