​Rodrigo Moreno makes defiant statement on Leeds exit rumours

Leeds United striker Rodrigo has reiterated his happiness at the club.

The attacker, who can also play on the wing and in attacking midfield, has made 22 appearances in all competitions this season.

Rodrigo is the club's record signing at £26 million, arriving last summer from Valencia.

Spanish reports suggested the 30-year-old wanted to leave Leeds, but Rodrigo has denied these rumours on his Instagram account.

"I'm not a person to comment on nonsense stories, however in this case I want to make it clear that stories about me wanting to leave Leeds and a bad relationship with Marcelo are false," he wrote on Instagram.

"I am very sorry that some people try to misinform our fans - my feelings are the opposite.

"I am happy, focused and working hard to help my teammates to end this great season in the best possible way. I love being at @leedsunited, I respect my coach and I identify with this Club!

"Come on Leeds MOT."
