Brendan Rodgers dismisses Pepe Reina exit talk

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has insisted that Pepe Reina will not be sold during the January transfer window.

The Spaniard has been linked with a move away from Anfield, with Birmingham City's Jack Butland understood to be a possible replacement.

"I don't like to talk about speculation as I've know in my time at Liverpool the names we have been linked with has been incredible," said Rodgers. "But what is worth putting on record is that I'm not looking for another goalkeeper.

"We have been linked with lots of goalkeepers. I have two very good goalkeepers - Pepe Reina and Brad Jones, who is a very loyal and capable number two. Any areas we look to improve will be in other areas."

Reina returned to the Liverpool side in Saturday's 1-0 win over Southampton following a hamstring injury.
