Defender Agger reiterates commitment to Liverpool

Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has confirmed he has no intention of leaving the Anfield club any time soon. The 28-year old Denmark international has been linked with a move to Barcelona this summer.

"I've said it so many times; I like it here and my family like it here. Not only the football but also living here, we fit in here and that's important for me," Agger told the Liverpool Echo.

"Take the tour to Asia this summer - that shows how big a club this is. You could say we haven't been good enough in the last couple of years to achieve what we want to.

"But that's definitely something I will try to help to change because this club belongs at the top.

"Everywhere we travel it's the same. The amount of people who were there was unbelievable, especially when you consider how we haven't performed in the last couple of years. You have to respect that."
