Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has said that he is ignoring speculation linking him with a move away from Anfield.

Italian side Napoli, coached by former Reds boss Rafael Benitez, have reportedly made an enquiry about the Danish international, who arrived in Merseyside from Brondby in 2006.

The 29-year-old centre-back has been restricted to 12 appearances in all competitions this season, but he said that he has been unlucky with injuries and is not looking to leave the club.

"I can't do anything about the rumours, but there is no point spending any time on them," The Mirror quotes him as saying.

"I'm not thinking about moving, not at all. There is no reason to believe the rumours. I have been out of the team at times this season, but I have been unlucky.

"Before one game, I suffered a stomach injury; and another I got ill the night before, and I would have played both times. So at times you are a bit unlucky, but that's what happens when you are injured and the team plays well - when the team is doing well it becomes difficult."

Barcelona are also reported to be long-term admirers of Agger.
