Dirk Kuyt Wants To Stay At Liverpool

Dirk Kuyt has revealed that he want to stay at Anfield.

Kuyt is currently on international duty with Holland in South Africa, and he will be playing in the final on Sunday against Spain, but is already thinking about the domestic season.

Liverpool ended last season without a trophy finishing outside of the top four and will not play Champions League football for the next twelve months.

Rafa Benitez has exited Liverpool and Roy Hodgson has been brought in to steady the ship and while Kuyt is still to meet with the manager he hopes he can stay at the club.

Speaking to SkySports Kuyt said: "Of course I want to stay," said Kuyt."Liverpool is a great club with a great history.

"Unfortunately in my four years I haven't won anything but hopefully in the future, I will still have that chance.

"We will have to see what happens but hopefully the manager wants me to stay.

"I spoke to people at the club and I know he wants to speak with me. But it is very difficult at the moment because we are so busy and focus on what lies ahead."

The Dutch have been in fine form since arriving in South Africa and have seen off Brazil and Uruguay to reach the final and are looking to lift the World Cup for the very first time.

And while Kuyt admits that it has been a difficult season at Anfield he went on to claim that this was the perfect end to the footballing year.

"It is really satisfying to end the season like this. It has been a long and hard season at Liverpool.

"Mentally it has been tough. You play for a club like that to win trophies and it did not happen.

"Thankfully, the Dutch manager gave me a week off after I had finished with Liverpool so I could focus on this tournament.

"That was good for me. Afterwards I trained hard. I fought for my place in the team. I am enjoying myself now and here we are in the final."
