Athletic Bilbao forward Inaki Williams has rejected suggestions that he could leave his current club in January.

The 22-year-old, who won his first Spain cap in May, has recently been linked with a move to Liverpool, who are believed to be prepared to activate the attacker's £45m release clause.

Academy product Williams, however, has insisted that he is "happy at Athletic" and has set out his future goals at the Basque club.

"I'm happy at Athletic, it's where I want to be. I'm very grateful to the fans, to the club and to my teammates. I want to continue here for many year," Williams told AS.

"I want to be Athletic's future number nine. The player who raises the roof at San Mames every week and scores lot of goals. I've always considered myself a forward. I feel comfortable playing in that position and being close to the goal."

Williams has scored once in 12 appearances for Bilbao this season.
