Rumours that Alvaro Arbeloa is unsettled at Anfield suddenly surfaced this week but they have been categorically dismissed by Liverpool.

Media reports were suggesting that the Spanish full-back was looking to move back to La Primera Liga just one season after joining the club.

However, a “senior club source” has told the Daily Mail that all speculation is groundless. The source confirmed that Arbeloa, 25, will be playing for Liverpool next season.

The player, who joined the Reds for £2.5million from Deportivo La Coruna last year, is said to be happy at the club and not planning to go anywhere.

The Liverpool official said: “I don't know where that came from about Arbeloa, but it is nothing.

“He is definitely, definitely staying here. He is happy and will be staying.”
