Liverpool star Fernando Morientes has rejected reports suggesting he could return to Spain with Espanyol.
Reports over the weekend claimed Espanyol were lining up a move for Morientes if they are able to appoint Jose Antonio Camacho as director of sport at the Barcelona-based club.
Morientes has played down the rumours and insists he is happy at Anfield.
"I want to stay at
Liverpool for a long time because the fans are yet to see the best of me," said Morientes.
"They really are unbelievable and very different to those in Spain. They sing all the time and really get behind you from the first whistle.
"Their support means so much to me and I want to repay them for the faith they have shown in me."
The former Real Madrid ace has admitted he struggled during his early days at
Liverpool and he is keen to prove he can be a success in England.
"I am really enjoying it at
Liverpool now. For me to be here is a very good thing," added Morientes.
"The first three months were difficult as my English was very bad and I was struggling for fitness, having not played much for Real prior to my move.
"Now it's improving and my life in
Liverpool is good. My family is very happy here too and my children speak English, no problem.
"After playing for so long in La Liga, it was a struggle adapting to life in The Premiership, at first. The style is very different. It's a lot stronger over here, but now I prefer The Premiership to La Liga."
