Liverpool forward Fabio Borini's agent claims the player is happy at Anfield and is not looking to find another club.

The 23-year-old Italian turned down moves to Sunderland, where he spent last season on loan, and QPR in the summer despite being told his first-team chances with the Reds would be limited.

Borini has made just one start and two substitute appearances - one of which came in the Champions League against Ludogorets – so far this term, but his agent Marco de Marchi insists there are no plans to look at moving him on.

"At this moment I am certainly not going to look for another club, as the boy is happy to remain at Liverpool," he said.

"Let's not forget he left a journey he already started at Roma in order to come to England.

"He has managed to find some space playing in the Champions League and starting in the Premier League. Things are progressing as expected."

Borini continues to be linked with other clubs, including a number back in his homeland, but De Marchi says there is nothing in the pipeline.

"Borini is a top-level player, so consequently he has a contract with Liverpool and any club interested knows how to approach them," he said.

"Liverpool have no intention of loaning him out, as they already proved in August.

"We know that and so do all the clubs who came looking for him in the last transfer session.

"The situation is exactly the same as it was in September, in the sense that he is very happy to be part of this important team."
