Riise: I'm not on Rafa's hit list
John Arne Riise has denied that he will be a victim of Rafa Benitez's Liverpool cull, as the Norwegian expects to discuss a contract extension over the summer.
The Spanish boss is expected to dispose of a number of his first team squad in the coming months as he aims to build a side capable of challenging for the Premiership.
Mark Gonzalez and Bolo Zenden have been told they have no future at Anfield, whilst Craig Bellamy and Sami Hyypia have also been linked with a possible exit.
However, Riise remains confident that he has a place in Benitez's plans for next season, and is hoping to discuss a new deal before the start of the new campaign
"I know he would have called at once it if was true that he wanted to offload me," Riise told Nettavisen.
"I have had full confidence at Liverpool for six years and see no reason to stop at the club.
"The plan is that we shall talk about a contract extension before the season starts." -
