Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits they're now studying the market to find a replacement for Steven Gerrard.

Rodgers admits attention now has to be paid to finding players capable of succeeding such a club icon.

"There is no doubt Steven is still a top-class player and has been that world-class talent for many years and him leaving in the summer leaves a void on and off the pitch but the club has to keep moving forward.

"We have to keep looking to bring in the best players we can.

"History shows players who have been great players here move on and it is an opportunity for other players to grab the mantle."
