Fernando Torres' agent has assured Liverpool fans the Spain striker "will continue at Liverpool next season".

Speculation has suggested many of Europe's most powerful clubs have been circling the prolific forward, with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid strongly linked with the striker.

However, despite Liverpool's disappointing seventh-placed finish in the Barclays Premier League, Torres' agent Jose Antonio Peton told Punto Radio in Spain: "For the moment I can assure fans that Fernando will continue at Liverpool next season.

"Everything is down to Liverpool's attitude but for the time being Fernando is happy at the club and has a good contract.

"Liverpool have not spoken to us about his future, so he is just concentrating on playing at the World Cup."
