http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 boss, Brendan Rodgers, has turned down the impression that Luis Suarez is seeking a January exodus from Anfield, claiming that the striker loves playing in the Premier League.
The Uruguayan International has had a turbulent stay at Merseyside so far, remaining in the thick of controversies.
Earlier this year, the 25-year old was slapped with an eight-match suspension for racially abusing Manchester United’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231.
Recently, he has been at the receiving end of some harsh criticism from the media and different circles for simulating dives in order to win over penalty kicks.
Former Liverpool footballer, John Aldridge, said this week that the striker’s troublesome stint at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 might force him into making a switch to another league in January.

“I thought he was outstanding. He's just a breath of fresh air, his enthusiasm. He's our only fit striker here,” he added.
