olton Wanderers winger Lee Chung-yong will not be joining Liverpool next season, according to the player's representative.[LNB] Reports had suggested Reds boss Rafa Benitez is keen to make a swoop for the talented winger as the club aim to boost their profile in the Far East.[LNB]However, Lee's player management agency has denied the speculation and has confirmed the 21 year-old will definitely be at Reebok Stadium for the start of the next campaign.[LNB]"I never received the offer from Liverpool, there was absolutely no contact. Speculation about the future is not helpful," said a spokesperson for TI Sports.[LNB]"(The link is) in a word, absurd. Liverpool did not have any discussion.[LNB]"Next season will be a lot easier (for Lee), but there is still much to learn in terms of player development.[LNB]"Lee wants to be a regular at Bolton next season, this is important (for him). It is important that Bolton stay in the Premier League, that is the biggest objective."[LNB]The South Korea international has been a revelation for the Trotters since joining them last summer, scoring five goals so far this term.
