Reds boss Rafa Benitez has also admitted he wants to keep the versatile attacker.

"I'm really happy at Liverpool and I want to stay here for as long as the club wants me," Kuyt told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"I am really settled here and I like the city. The most important thing is I like the club and I've really enjoyed the two seasons I've been here.

"The only thing I am missing is some trophies and hopefully that will come in the next year.

"I've never had any intentions of leaving this club.

"Sometimes things are said in the press, but the boss said to me that is not relevant and he wants me here with Liverpool."
