Fulham manager Roy Hodgson has reiterated his desire to bring about an end to speculation linking him with Liverpool.
The Fulham boss has seen his stock rise considerably over recent seasons, with his exploits at Craven Cottage drawing widespread acclaim.
The plaudits are always most welcome, but the experienced coach now finds himself at the centre of a distracting managerial debate.
Reports continue to suggest that he could be on his way to Anfield this summer, with Liverpool looking to replace Rafa Benitez.
The Reds are believed to have identified Hodgson as a possible candidate for the post and are planning to make contact in the near future.
Fulham would understandably be reluctant to see their highly-rated manager leave, but accept that success inevitably leads to gossip.
Hodgson claims that it is all talk is at present and has once again stated that he is more than happy with life on the banks of the Thames.
"I'm Fulham manager. I'm perfectly happy at Fulham." He said.
"To be honest, there's a lot of speculation but I can't enlighten you."
