Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has claimed that defender Martin Skrtel has no intention of leaving Merseyside.
The 27-year-old has been named as a potential departure from Anfield this summer, with both Manchester City and Napoli thought to be keen on the centre-back's services.
"I met Martin for the first time on Saturday," The Express quotes Rodgers as saying. "He is a good guy. I'm looking forward to working with him, likewise Daniel [Agger].
"I had a good feeling after I spoke to him. He is very committed to the cause. He has made it very clear that he wants to be here, fighting and working to make the club better. These are issues that we will look to find solutions to in the coming months."
Meanwhile, reports have claimed that Skrtel's teammate Andy Carroll is on West Ham United's radar, with the London club thought to be keen on signing the striker on a loan deal.
