Liverpool FC striker Luis Suarez 'one of the best in the world' - Brendan Rodgers

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said Luis Suarez is one of the best strikers in the world after the Uruguayan scored four times in Wednesday night's 5-1 win at home to Norwich.
Liverpool returned to the top four of the Premier League with the win over Norwich, and Suarez has now scored 11 goals in his last four appearances against the Canaries.
The former Ajax forward also became the first player in Premier League history to score three hat-tricks against one club, and Rodgers told reporters after the impressive performance: "I always like to talk about the team but I think you've got to hold Luis up as one of the best strikers in the world.
"It was an incredible performance. It was sheer brilliance, it was a joy for me to watch the team, I thought technically we were very good but to witness that, it was a remarkable individual performance.
"The modern-day world-class operators, it's all about their numbers and what they produce and you look at the goals he scored and the assist he made, it was a pleasure to watch."
Rodgers also believes Suarez can get even better, adding: "You look at Luis, he's only 26 and I really think he'll make improvements to his game over the coming years.
"He's probably the happiest he's been here, you look at him and the maturity in his performance.
"I think this club suits him perfectly and I still think his best years are going to be here because of everything.
"The profile of the club, the connection with the supporters, Anfield itself, you can see it's a hand in glove fit for him and the type of football we're trying to play allows him to operate in those spaces we create."

Chelsea FC target Sergio Ramos insists he is happy at Real Madrid CF

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos insists he is not considering leaving the club after being linked with Chelsea and Manchester City.
A number of reports last week claimed Ramos has fallen out with Real president Florentino Perez over a wage dispute and is looking to leave the Bernabeu.

Reports in the British press at the weekend claimed Chelsea and Man City were both considering January bids for the 27-year-old, but he insists he has a good relationship with Perez, and wants to stay in the Spanish capital.

"I’ll repeat, our differences were nothing to do with the contract," Ramos was quoted as saying by AS.

"I’ve got three years here and I’m relaxed and I’m not looking to leave.

"I feel privileged and if I could, I would retire here. 

"I’m not going to talk about the differences between us because it’s a personal matter, but I can say we have a great relationship. I’ll never forget who the president here is and I know he’s in charge."
