Alberto Aquilani's agent feels his client is starting to feel more at home in the Premier League.
The Italian joined Liverpool in a big-money move from Roma last summer, charged with the task of filling the creative void created by Xabi Alonso's departure to Real Madrid.
An injury carried with him from his time in Serie A kept him on the sidelines for the opening stages of the season, allowing others to stake a claim for a regular starting berth.
He then struggled to force his way into Rafa Benitez's plans, with the Spaniard seemingly reluctant to throw the talented 25-year-old into action.
However, Aquilani has caught the eye of late and bagged his first Liverpool goal in Monday's 4-1 demolition of Portsmouth.
He missed the Europa League victory over Lille on Thursday with a virus, but his representative insists that is nothing to worry about and is backing Aquilani to be back to his best over the coming weeks.
"Alberto has had quite an ordeal with his ankle, and has had a series of injuries, but he is returning to the player we all know he is," Franco Zavaglia told tuttomercatoweb.
"It is clear that a player like him appeals to many clubs, but he is happy in England and I think Liverpool have no desire to get rid of him any time soon."
