Yossi Benayoun wants to stay and fight for his place at Liverpool, even if the club are willing to let him go.

The 28-year-old midfielder has been linked with a move away from Anfield, with Tottenham, Portsmouth and Ajax all reported as potential suitors.

“He is a good player so it is only normal that these clubs would be interested in signing him,” his agent, Ronen Katsav, told BBC Sport.

“But Yossi is very happy at Liverpool, everything is perfect for him there.”

He added: “He sees his future at Liverpool. Even if the club wanted to sell him, then Yossi would say he would like to stay.”

Benayoun arrived at Anfield for a fee of £5m from West Ham last summer after an impressive couple of seasons with the Hammers.

Despite struggling to hold down a regular first team place in Rafael Benitez’s side, the Israel captain still managed to score 11 goals in his debut season.

He starred in Liverpool’s record Champions League victory over Besiktas last November, scoring a hat-trick as the Reds ran out 8-0 winners.

So far this summer, Liverpool have allowed John Arne Riise to join Roma for £4m as Benitez looks to build a squad capable of challenging for the title next season.

The Liverpool boss has also turned down a £9m offer from Portsmouth for striker Peter Crouch, while he is set to follow-up the signing of Swiss full-back Philip Degen with the capture of Italian left-back Andrea Dossena from Udinese.

AC Milan midfielder Clarence Seedorf is still hoping to play in the Premier League before he ends his career.

The 32-year-old Dutchman has played for Ajax, Sampdoria, Real Madrid and Inter Milan, and has been linked with a move to Arsenal in the past.

But speaking to BBC London 94.9 Seedorf said: “I’d always love to come and play in the Premier League, but things just don’t happen like that.

“I’ve never touched the Premier League yet, but let’s say you never know.”

Seedorf added: “Opportunities come and go, when I was close to coming to England with Manchester United or Arsenal when I was at Sampdoria I went to Real Madrid.

“You cannot be everywhere, I’ve been playing in Spain and Italy. For now I’m in Italy and I’m always following with a very special eye the movements in the Premier League because at the moment it’s an example for everybody.”

Seedorf was not part of the Netherlands squad at Euro 2008, and has instead dedicated much of his summer to humanitarian work including the Goal4Africa campaign.

He has organised a benefit match at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena on 12 July to bring together some of the world’s best footballers for the Global Kick Off Event.

Seedorf explained: “I’ve talked to John Terry and he was very keen. Andrei Shevchenko said yes already, Michael Essien, Didier Drogba, Steven Gerrard, but Ryan Babel unfortunately got injured.

“Sergio Ramos, Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gatuso and Alessandro Nesta are all very keen to come. We know of course there are responsibilities for their teams, as they all have to train. So I’m also asking all the coaches at all the clubs to help free the players to come and play this match and help this project and make a difference for a lot of kids.”
