Liverpool boss Matt Beard has revealed the club will be looking to recruit at least five new players in this summer's transfer window.
Liverpool announced earlier this week that seven players will leave Prenton Park when their contracts expire at the end of the current campaign, with defensive duo Megan Campell and Leighanne Robe among the depatures. Coupled with the January exits of Rachel Furness and Charlotte Wardlaw and retirement of Gilly Flaherty, the need for Beard and his staff to bring some fresh blood to Merseyside is pressing.
Speaking to the media on Friday ahead of Liverpool's clash with Manchester United, Beard admitted the decision to let the departing players go was "tough" but is a necessary part of the evolution of his squad.
