Russian website championat.com quoting the coach of Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers has denied media reports linking the Nigeria international Emmanuel Emenike with a transfer to the club this summer.

Earlier reports had claimed Emenike, top scorer at the African Nations Cup with four strikes, was on the radar of Reading, Arsenal and Liverpool.

''We have no interest in the acquisition of this player,'' said Rodgers to Igor Rabiner of championat.com.

Emmanuel Emenike pulled a hamstring in the Super Eagles semi -final victory over Mali. His duration on the sidelines is unknown.

This season, the 25- year - old forward has scored 5 goals in 15 games in the Russian Premier League.
