Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is keeping mum about the Reds rekindling their interest in Dnipro winger Yevhen Konoplyanka, saying that a number of players are under consideration at Anfield.
The Merseyside giants pushed hard to sign Konoplyanka from Dnipro last month, but despite believing they had the deal done and dusted, saw the Ukrainian club's owner refuse to sign off on the transfer.

Rodgers was quick to admit that he could well go back in for Konoplyanka when the summer transfer window opens, but now he is playing a more cagey game.
Asked at a press conference whether he had watched Konoplyanka in action against Tottenham in the Europa League last night, a game in which he scored, Rodgers replied: "I didn't see the game."

Pressed on whether he will return for Konoplyanka however, the Liverpool manager kept mum.
"We've got lots of people that we're looking at and we'll assess where we are at the end of the season and take it from there", he said.
Konoplyanka's coach at Dnipro, Juande Ramos, has claimed the winger is over the disappointment of missing out on the move and has been a model professional.
