Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard is excited by his club’s new recruits and wants to play alongside them very soon.

The Merseyside club have been busy in the transfer market and have already added Kolo Toure, Luis Alberto, Iago Aspas and Simon Mignolet to their ranks.



Gerrard, who is recovering after a shoulder operation, is expected to return in time for the new season kick-off and believes that Liverpool’s fans should be looking forward to the upcoming campaign.

He told the club’s official site: "Especially with the news of us making a few signings, I’m really looking forward to getting started.

"It’s always important to get faces in as soon as possible; they can get a full pre-season under their belt, get to know the lads and how the manager wants to play.

"There are some exciting names in there so everyone is excited."

Gerrard admitted that he has not seen much of Aspas or Alberto but has backed Brendan Rodgers’ decision to buy the pair completely.

“I know very little about them, but I have got a lot belief and confidence in Brendan and the scouting department that they are going to make the right decisions and I have seen bits and bobs of new signings we have made.”
