Liverpool boss Rodgers: Suarez happy at Anfield

According to Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, striker Luis Suarez is enjoying the Reds start to the season. The situation was markedly different in the summer when the Uruguay international wanted out of Merseyside for a side competing in the Champions League.

But Rodgers has always insisted he has had nothing but commitment from the striker.

"I haven't been given anything to the contrary," he said. "Looking and speaking to him Luis is as happy as he has ever been.

"He recognises we have a real genuine chance this year of breaking in there (the top four) this year.

"Last year was about transition and the second season was about improvement and he has seen that.

"He had a difficult summer but he has come back and he is more mature and his performance level has been really high.

"He sees a genuine chance for us to make that (top four). He is happy here.

"From a club perspective, we made a stance last summer, not only for Luis but for every player.

"If we think it is time to sell a player, we will. If not we won't."
