Steven Gerrard has opened up on his transfer frustrations with the Ibrox board.

After five transfer windows that have sent the wage bill soaring the Liverpool legend has still to deliver his first trophy with new chairman Douglas Park taking a vow of silence since replacing Dave King.

Since losing the 2019/20 title an undisclosed deal was agreed to sign Ianis Hagi on a permanent deal while raking through the bargain bucket to bring in Jon McLaughlin, Calvin Bassey and Leon Balogun to Ibrox.

Gerrard has overseen an incredible turnover of players with Jon Flanagan, Eros Grezda, Kyle Lafferty and Matt Polster coming and going last season.

The solution always seems to be more spending with Sky Sports reports Gerrard saying:

We need more. I have told the club that, I’ve been honest and open with what I feel we need.

In terms of where we are at from a financial point of view, they are questions for other people – but I have made it quite clear that we need to add to what we’ve got.

We need to add players into the 11 to make us stronger and then, naturally, that will make the squad stronger. At the moment, we still need to get people in the door.

Since the end of last season Gerrard has lost Andy Halliday, Flanagan, Polster, Wes Foderingham, Jason Holt, Florian Kamberi, Sheyi Ojo and Jordan Rossiter.

Jermain Defoe will find out the extent of his hamstring injury while Nikola Katic will be out for the foreseeable future with a knee injury.

Gerrard has been strongly linked with the Bristol City job which became vacant on July 5 when Lee Johnson was sacked.
