Klopp's Russian target remaining at Rostov, says agent

Cape Town - FC Rostov striker Sardar Azmoun is determined to continue scoring goals in the Russian Premier League and isn't looking for a move, according to his agent.

It was reported last week that Liverpool were eager to add the 21-year-old to their ranks, and that he would be interested in a move.

However, one of the Iran international's representatives, Mehdi Hagitali, has revealed that no offers have been received and Azmoun is enjoying his football under Selmashi manager Kurban Berdyev.

"I read about the interest in Sardar from Liverpool, but I can say that at present there have been no formal proposals from either foreign or Russian clubs," Hagitali was reported as saying by the Liverpool Echo.

"Now his main goal is to become the best striker in the Russian Premier League. Kurban Berdyev is like a father-figure, and he would like to work with the coach. If some proposals come, we will look at them."
