Liverpool will not consider any offer from Chelsea for striker Fernando Torres.

Stamford Bridge insiders believed the row between co- owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett could unsettle the Spaniard, who hit 33 goals in his first season in English football.

But Anfield bosses have ruled out any chance of Torres, 24, heading for West London.

Reds chief executive Rick Parry insisted: "Fernando Torres is not for sale - and that's that."
