Liverpool target Sofyan Amrabat has played down speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League.

The Moroccan defensive midfielder has come in for huge praise at the World Cup.

Despite his side losing in the semi finals to France, Amrabat emerged with huge credit from the tournament.

Amrabat was asked about speculation linking him with a move away from Fiorentina.

"It is a great honour to be associated with these kinds of clubs," Amrabat told Marca.

"Right now I'm playing for Fiorentina. I have a lot of respect for my club, it's a great team.

"I have a great coach [Vincenzo Italiano] and a wonderful relationship with the owner Rocco Commisso, who brought me to Fiorentina, and also with Joe Barone [general manager] and Daniele Prade [sporting director].

“I have a lot of respect for them and for the club."
