Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has insisted that is sole focus is helping the club achieve a top-four position in the league, despite doubts over his Liverpool future.

Liverpool have recently appointed Brendan Rodgers as their new manager, and despite only having a year left on his contract and talks seemingly not imminent, Carragher maintains he just wants to concentrate playing for his club.

"Whenever the manager wants to call upon me, I will be there, which has always been the case," Carragher told the Liverpool Echo.

"I wouldn't say getting a new deal is my motivation. My motivation is to play well for Liverpool, hopefully get a trophy and qualify for the Champions League."

Carragher made his debut for Liverpool in 1996, and has remained at the club throughout his career.
