Dutch forward Dirk Kuyt confirmed his future is with Liverpool following the Reds' 2-1 win over Turkish outfit Trabzonspor in the Europa League.
The World Cup finalist's future at Anfield had been the focus of speculation in recent times, with rumours of interest from Inter becoming a cause for concern for many Liverpool supporters.
But Kuyt, who grabbed a goal as the Reds progressed to the group stages of the Europa League in Turkey, confirmed his future is with Liverpool despite the reports linking him with a move away from Anfield.
"Everyone's said a lot about my future but as far as I know my future is at Liverpool," Kuyt told ESPN.
"I've had a great time so far and hopefully my future will be great here.
"All I want to do is win trophies with Liverpool."
Kuyt also stated it was important for everyone at the club to ensure the team stays in the Europa League.
"It's very important for all of us because we want to challenge for trophies and we definitely want to be in Europe," he added.
Stand-in captain Jamie Carragher also declared his pleasure at beating their tough Turkish opposition, especially without star players such as Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres.
"To beat them on their own patch especially with some of our top players not playing it was a great result," Carragher said.
