Jurgen Klopp says that speculation linking Daniel Sturridge with a move away from Liverpool "is not important", and rules out a loan exit for fellow forward Ben Woodburn.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has insisted that he is "not aware" of any teams showing an interest in Daniel Sturridge, while also confirming that young forward Ben Woodburn is to remain at the club.

Sturridge has cut a frustrated figure at Anfield this term after falling down the pecking order, leading to suggestions that he may be loaned out for the second half of 2017-18.

Sevilla, Inter Milan and a couple of Premier League sides are rumoured to have contacted Liverpool over the 28-year-old's availability, but Klopp remained tight-lipped when questioned at his weekly presser.

"If there are any rumours, I am not aware of them but it is not important," he told reporters. "We will see what happens until January 31. We have a long and very decisive part of the season still to play. We need all of our players, we will see how it will be."

Another player linked with a temporary move away from Merseyside is Wales international Woodburn, though Klopp has no plans to send him out on loan before the end of the season.

"There's no rush in it," he said. "It's nice that clubs are asking for him already, but Ben had enough games so far; he played in different competitions, the UEFA Youth League, the U23s and had games with us.

"In all the sessions he is improving constantly. That we think we would miss him in our training group – with this quality squad – is maybe the biggest compliment you can give to him.

"He is completely relaxed, his family is relaxed and I am relaxed. The request is logical but there's no rush at the moment. He is in the right place.

"We will help him, of course, and if there is any point in the next year when we think he needs to go somewhere then we will consider that for sure. But not for the moment."

Liverpool, currently third in the Premier League table, return to action on Monday night when travelling to face Swansea City.
