STEVEN GERRARD is expecting big things from Liverpool's new signings - and hopes they will improve the Reds' chances of returning to the Champions League.

Manchester City defender Kolo Toure, Sevilla midfielder Luis Alberto, Celta Vigo forward Iago Aspas and Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet have all been snapped up by Brendan Rodgers.
And more additions are expected, with £20million-rated midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan heavily linked with Anfield.
Gerrard told Liverpool's official website: "I'm really looking forward to getting started, especially with the news of us making a few signings.
"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."
Alberto and Aspas are little-known names to most Premier League fans - and Gerrard himself.
He added: "I know very little about them but I have a lot belief and confidence in Brendan and the scouting department that they are going to make the right decisions.
"I am really looking forward to getting back to work next week and seeing what the new players have got to offer and see if they can help strengthen our squad to put in a better fight for a top-four finish."
