The 24-goal striker has fervently pledged himself to the Reds, saying the team are on the brink of Premier League success.

Torres said: "I have no intention of leaving.

"We have to focus our energies to give the little step we need to get to the top teams.

"If we only improve the team a little, we are going to manage to do so.

"I want to say very clearly that I'm not on the market and it is my desire to continue at Liverpool.

"I am very happy at Liverpool and want to carry on."

The striker's comments echo that of Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry who said: "Fernando Torres is just not for sale to anyone.

"It is as simple as that, really. He is not going anywhere."
