Rodgers penned a new deal at Anfield today, and believes the foundations are now in place for the club to reclaim it's place as one of football's elite sides.

He told Liverpool's official website: "I've been very pleased with the culture and the environment that we've created over the last two seasons.

"That has been key in helping us make the strides that we have. We've got a bunch of players now that are very hungry, who are very committed to helping Liverpool.

"I take great pride and I trust every single one of the players. They are truly professional in their approach. They dedicate their lives to making Liverpool the very best it can be.

"So I think the environment that we have created and the culture that we have for learning, for both senior and young players, I've been delighted with.

"But we'll now move into the next phase. We're into the Champions League. Our dream and goal is to win the Barclays Premier League. That's what we want to do. We've shown this season that we can compete for that. With some new additions in the summer, we believe that we can fight again.

"The objective for me was to try to get Liverpool established again as one of the leading clubs in European and domestic football and we're on course for that."

And Rodgers believes that Liverpool fans can look forward to a summer of new faces at Anfield as he looks to build a squad that can compete on both the European and domestic fronts.

He added: "That's the idea. Obviously it's the off-season and we have the World Cup and other various things going on. People need to refresh and have a break because we have a long season ahead next season.

"But in the meantime, we're still working on signings, the staff behind the scenes, myself, the recruitment team, Ian Ayre - we're all working hard still in terms of looking to get players in.

"Of course, at the club, where we are now, the signings are complex; they are not all simple signings. But we need to strengthen up the squad and that's something that we're working hard to do over the next number of weeks."
