Kewell: battling to stay

Liverpool midfielder Harry Kewell has admitted that it is going to be difficult to work his way back into the first team, but is desperate to secure his future at the club. Fulham and Bolton were both interested in signing the Australian attacking midfielder.

"I want to stay at Liverpool and I'm going to be working hard to get another contract," Kewell told The Guardian.

"I think this is a great club. I was out on the pitch the other night and I said to Yossi (Benayoun) that Anfield has the best atmosphere in the world. Why would you want to leave?
