Arsenal put on Pepe Reina red alert after Liverpool keeper hints he could quit Anfield next summer

By Alex Kay Last updated at 11:00 PM on 8th November 2010

Pepe Reina dropped a shock hint last night that he would consider quitting Liverpool.

When asked how long he intended to stay at Anfield, he replied 'at least until the end of the season', despite the Spaniard having a six-year contract.

And Reina, one of Liverpool's three world-class players alongside Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres, intriguingly added he will not return to Spain if he leaves.

Reina's comments will put rival clubs on alert, particularly Arsene Wenger's Arsenal.

Reina, 28, who has not won a trophy since the FA Cup in 2006, said: 'I signed a six-year deal seven months ago and I'm happy at the club, but every footballer wants to be competing for trophies and winning things.

'I will stay at Liverpool at least until the end of the season. I know there are rumours about me leaving but I want to make it clear that I have no intention of going back to Spain.'

Losing Reina would be a huge blow for Roy Hodgson, who has seen his horrendous start at Liverpool improve in recent weeks, with a previously out-of-form Torres netting twice in Sunday's 2-0 win over champions Chelsea.

Reina also hinted that previous manager Rafael Benitez's departure in the summer had not left him overly happy.

'Rafael Benitez was an essential person for this club and the reason I came to Liverpool,' he said.

Hodgson might not mind the inferred criticism after the win over Chelsea lifted Liverpool up to ninth, level on points with sixth-placed Bolton.


Much-maligned midfielder Lucas was one of Liverpool's best players on Sunday and is confident the team have rediscovered some much-needed belief.

'We believe again,' said the Brazilian. 'That is the main thing. We played with intensity and we're happy.'

****'s sake, if those quotes are accurate, that's seriously worrying.

[DannyMan2006]

We'll have a few players leave if we don't invest in January and improve our league position. But that is to be expected. If NESV show they mean business and we come top 4 none of our top players will leave.

Id be very surprised if those are not out of context or blatantly bollocks.
