Werner: Reds can splash cash

LIVERPOOL chairman Tom Werner insists the club’s owners are prepared to provide money for big-name signings if it benefits the long-term future of the team.

Since their £300 million (€355m) purchase in October, there has been little suggestion from principal owner John Henry and Werner that substantial investment would be available for squad rebuilding.

And while Werner admits they are looking for greater value in terms of the players they sign, they could make a significant outlay on the right individual.
