Bolton Wanderers' Lee Chung-yong will not be joining Liverpool next season, according to the player's agent.

Reports had suggested that Reds boss Rafa Benitez is keen to make a swoop for the talented winger as the club aims to boost their profile in the Far East.

However, Lee's player management agency has denied the speculation and has confirmed the 21 year-old will definitely be at Reebok Stadium for the start of the next campaign.

"I never received the offer from Liverpool, there was absolutely no contact. Speculation about the future is not helpful," said a spokesperson for TI Sports.

"(The link is) in a word, absurd. Liverpool did not have any discussion.

"Next season will be a lot easier (for Lee), but there is still much to learn in terms of player development.

"Lee wants to be a regular at Bolton next season, this is important (for him). It is important that Bolton stay in the Premier League, that is the biggest objective."

The South Korea international has been a revelation for the Trotters since joining them last summer, scoring five goals so far this term.

Andrew Parkes (Bolton Wanderers fan) says...

Lee to Liverpool....I dont think so, after Riera and Babel, Lee doesnt want to be another one to have his career stalled by Rafa.

Worst thing about that link is that the speculation is that Rafa is targetting a player for a Liverpool squad that he shouldnt be managing next season but the board wont pay up to terminate his contract an are hoping another team tries to buy his contract over summer. We want to be seen canidates for manager at Liverpool not another couple million spent on a player that is gonna be warming the bench(Alberto)..
