Spain superstar Fernando Torres has pledged his long-term future to Liverpool, having recently been linked with a big-money move to Chelsea.
The 24-year-old striker scored 33 goals in his first season with the Reds, proving to be an instant hit following his arrival from Atletico Madrid.
That sparked rumours of an approach from Chelsea for his services, but Torres insists he is more than happy to remain at Anfield.
He told the Liverpool Echo: "It is an honour to be linked to clubs like Barcelona, Chelsea, or Arsenal.
"But I am not thinking about a change and I want to continue playing for Liverpool for many years to come.
"I have been able to enjoy every minute at a club where things have gone well.
"I have been part of a team where every player shares the same goals and where a player can rely on the support of his team-mates. I have also worked with a manager who believed in me."
