Liverpool defender John Arne Riise appears to be close to ending his seven-year association with the club.

The Norway international has spent recent games on the substitute's bench after losing his place in the first team to Fabio Aurelio and Ryan Babel.

Riise said: "I am not happy with the situation. I am used to playing in 80 per cent of all the games, but if I don't get to play as much as I want to I have to make a choice this summer as to whether I should stay or not.

"I just have to wait and see what will happen. Maybe I will be offered a new contract, maybe not. It's frustrating not knowing if you are going to play the next game or not."

The 27-year-old has scored 31 goals in 340 appearances for the Reds since moving to Anfield from AS Monaco in the summer of 2001.
