Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has as many as 13 Reds players in his sights for the January sales. The Daily Express says England internationals Glen Johnson and Jon Flanagan are out of contract at the end of the season, while Kolo Toure and goalkeeper Brad Jones are in similar situations and could leave the club.

Martin Skrtel, who rescued a point with a last-gasp header in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Arsenal, has 18 months remaining and has yet to be offered a new deal.

In addition, Simon Mignolet has edged towards an exit after he was axed three games ago to make way for Jones and Jose Enrique has not featured since being substituted at half-time in the draw with FC Basel.

Mamadou Sakho has struggled to convince, Brad Smith is it at loggerheads over a new deal, Sebastian Coates, on loan at Sunderland, Andre Wisdom, at West Brom for the season and Tiago Ilori, with Bordeaux, are in the dark over whether they will have to leave permanently.

Suso is another out of contract at the end of the campaign.
