Roma Defender John Arne Riise Refutes Rumours Of Liverpool Return


Roma left-back John Arne Riise has reacted angrily to claims by the News of the World that he has explicitly requested to re-join former club Liverpool.

“I never said I wanted to return to Liverpool and I never made those statements,” Riise said via the Giallorossi press office.

“I am settled here in Rome and I want to stay.”

Riise left Liverpool for Roma in the summer of 2008 after spending seven seasons with the Reds.

Riise has failed to establish himself as a regular starter at the Olimpico and the News of the World had alleged the 29-year-old had expressed a desire to go back to Anfield.
