BRENDAN RODGERS is looking to land Ukraine star Yevhen Konoplyanka at the second time of asking this summer.

Rodgers almost clinched a £15million deal to bring Konoplyanka to Anfield from Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk in January.

The move fell through at the last minute, but is expected to be revisited by the Reds after the current campaign comes to an end.

Liverpool managing director has promised Rodgers a transfer kitty of upwards of £50m this summer after sealing a Champions League place next term.

It could get better for the Merseyside outfit if they win the Premier League, with Konoplyanka one of Rodgers' top targets.

"It will cost what it costs when we decide who the manager wants to buy," Ayre said.

"We have always been fortunate to be able to bring great players here despite that but there is no question it opens up a few doors for us and makes it a little bit easier."

Reports in Russia also claim that Liverpool want to sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Borussia Dortmund.

Rodgers missed out on the Armenian's signature last summer when he left Shakhtar Donetsk in a £23.6m move to Dortmund.
