Liverpool defender John Arne Riise has conceded there is a 50-50 chance he will be leaving Anfield this summer.

The Norway international has been linked with a £4.5million switch to Italian side AS Roma after falling down the pecking order at the Merseyside club last season.

The 27-year-old has spent seven years with the Reds and has made just short of 350 appearances.

However, he started just 22 Premier League games last season and his days at Anfield appear to be numbered.

"At the moment, it's 50-50 that I will change employer, but things might happen before the re-start in England," he is quoted as saying.

"I have only got one year left on my contract and that means the price could be lower.

"I need to play. I need to be at a club where I can progress."
