Agent: 'Fabio Borini happy at Liverpool'

Fabio Borini's agent has insisted that the striker is happy to fight for his place at Liverpool.

The Italian, who rejected moves to Sunderland and Queens Park Rangers over the summer, has made just three appearances for the Reds so far this season.

Despite the 23-year-old's lack of first-team action at Anfield, Marco de Marchi is confident that Borini will force his way into the side.

"At this moment I am certainly not going to look for another club, as the boy is happy to remain at Liverpool," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "Let's not forget he left a journey he already started at Roma in order to come to England.

"He has managed to find some space playing in the Champions League and starting in the Premier League. Things are progressing as expected."

Borini scored 10 goals in 40 games for Sunderland last season during a loan spell at the Stadium of Light.
