Germany full-back Marcell Jansen is committed to Hamburg despite interest from Liverpool, according to his agent.[LNB] The 24-year-old joined the Bundesliga club after an unsuccessful stint at rivals Bayern Munich for £7million in 2008 and was part of Germany's World Cup squad that finished in third place.[LNB]Jansen scored the opener in the Germans' 3-2 win over Uruguay and has reportedly caught the eye of Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson following his performances for Hamburg.[LNB]The Reds are looking for a left-back after selling Emiliano Insua to Fiorentina and releasing Fabio Aurelio, meaning they have no senior cover for the position.[LNB]Hodgson has been linked with moves for Paul Konchesky, Maynor Figueroa and Carlos Salcido, but so far none have come to fruition.[LNB]Jansen's ability to play as a left winger could be a reason behind a possible bid, but agent Gerd vom Bruch stated that the player was committed to his current club.[LNB]"The interest in him is a credit to Marcell," he told the Hamburger Morgenpost newspaper.[LNB]"But he is under contract with Hamburger SV and will be respecting this."
