I don't want to go, says Ngog

West Brom loan target David Ngog has stated his determination to remain at Liverpool this season and become a better player.[LNB] The 21-year-old scored eight times in 36 matches last season, bettering his tally of the previous campaign by two, but was asked to shoulder a huge burden with Fernando Torres out injured for long spells.[LNB]Ngog has shown brief flashes of his talent since signing from Paris Saint-Germain two years ago for £1million but his game needs plenty of work before he can become a consistent threat up front.[LNB]His future at the club is uncertain now Roy Hodgson has taken over from Rafael Benitez and he has already been linked with a season-long loan move to The Hawthorns.[LNB]However, Ngog is keen to stay and learn from his new English manager.[LNB]"I know speculation is part of football and we have to deal with it. If we bring in new players, it is good for the team," he said. "But I am a Liverpool player. I want to be involved in the first team at Liverpool.[LNB]"My confidence is good. Now I have to do my job and give my best for the team.[LNB]"I am more experienced now and I want to be involved, play as many games as I can and score goals to help the team win.[LNB]"The club had a difficult season last year but I want to prove we can get back into the top four. I am confident about this."[LNB]Former youth team captain Jay Spearing accepts this could be a pivotal season for him too.[LNB]"With a new manager coming in I have thought this could be my chance to break in and become a solid part of the first-team squad and be regularly involved," said the 21-year-old, who spent the latter part of last season on loan at Leicester.[LNB]"Obviously, at the end of the day it's down to me whether that happens.[LNB]"If that comes, then it comes. But if not, then we'll look at my options.[LNB]"But I want to break into Roy's plans; I want to be involved and playing more games this season."
