Pennant aims for Reds stay

Hull City's hopes of signing Jermaine Pennant have diminished after the winger's agent claimed his client wants to stay at Liverpool and fight for a first-team place.
The out-of-favour midfielder has been linked with a move to the KC Stadium after making just four appearances for the Reds in all competitions this season.
But Pennant's agent, Sky Andrew, claims his client is looking to remain at Anfield despite the Tigers enquiring about his availability.
"Jermaine is still talking to Liverpool," Andrew told the Hull Daily Mail.
"He doesn't want to play for another club in the Premier League and wants to stay with Liverpool."
Pennant has started just 54 games for the Reds during two-and-a-half years on Merseyside.
