And the Honduran, who flew back to his homeland ahead of next month's Gold Cup, admitted he had heard about Liverpool. He said: "It is flattering for any player of course, when somebody like Liverpool shows an interest in your services. I still do now know anything, I leave this in the hands of my agent and club officials."

He said: "I am happy to be back home, it is always good to be back and thank God it comes after a great season. Now my aim is the national team and I am happy to be selected, I will have a few days off and then I will be ready for Honduras."
