Chelsea announced they have reached an agreement with Basel over Salah's transfer, although the 21- year-old has yet to sign the deal.

"The window is not closed yet so we haven't given up on him, no," Liverpool boss Rodgers told BBC Sport.

"Salah was a player we're interested in and we hoped we could do a deal but as of yet there is nothing done on it," he added.

"The club is still looking for players we can bring in to strengthen the squad.

"It is a difficult market in January so we'll see what happens. If nothing comes in then the players I have have been outstanding for me this season and we'll enter into the final part of it with confidence if we have the same group of players."
