The Reds have already scooped up Spanish pair Luis Alberto and Iago Aspas, Belgian goalkeeper Simon Mignolet and Ivorian defender Kolo Toure.
The four new faces have all arrived early, in good time to play a full part in the Reds’ pre-season campaign.
And for Rodgers, doing the deals early is vital.

"It’s great [making quick additions] – it’s a big thing to the club because we looked at last summer and there were lots of things that were difficult for us", he told his club’s official site.
"That meant that the opening period of the season was difficult.
"From that we’ve got all our people involved, our recruitment team in – and they got to work as soon as they came in.
