My heart is on Merseyside – Torres

(10-01-2011) Fernando Torres has dismissed reports that he is on the verge of walking out on Liverpool and has called on the club’s fans to get behind the squad. The Spanish World Cup winner has long been linked with a move away from Anfield following a poor season which has seen Roy Hodgson replaced by fans' favourite Kenny Dalglish in recent days. The 26-year-old striker is under contract at Anfield until 2013, with the option of a further year. He insists he will see out his deal. "More than ever, we need to stick together," Torres told The People. "We must live in the present, from match to match. We need to add more points, win matches and improve our standing in the table.” He added: "My head is in Liverpool and on helping save our season. I am professional and I always fulfil my deals.”
