Linked with an imminent move to Trabzonspor, Liverpool’s Ivoirian defender Kolo Touré says he will remain at Anfield and honour the last year of his contract with the Reds.After getting a confidence boost by manager Brendan Rodgers, the 33-year-old is feeling as fit as ever and ready to fight for playing time in the new Premier League season.“I am still at Liverpool. I had talks with the coach who clearly indicated that I was part of his plans. It is a privilege to be at Liverpool. I am very happy to wear the shirt of this legendary club,” Kolo told Sport Ivoire.“I feel good physically. At 33 years of age, I am ready for any challenge. It is because I have been spared from serious injuries during my career. I continue to work hard in training to keep up the momentum, and it is why the coach wants to keep me at Liverpool.“Trabzonspor are interested in me, but I have expressed my pleasure at being a Liverpool player.“Yes, it is always a possibility to join a lower league for more playing time, but I am a competitor and I decided to stay at Liverpool. However, the situation can change at any time, but for the moment I am at Liverpool and I want to carry on with the club.”
