Yossi Benayoun's agent has described rumours linking the Liverpool midfielder with a January switch to Spartak Moscow as 'total nonsense'.

Despite starting in Monday's stalemate with West Ham, Benayoun has found first-team opportunities hard to find this season.

The Israeli recently voiced his frustration at a lack of action, but his representative, Ronen Katsav, insists all is well at Anfield.

"I don't understand where they're getting this from," Katsav told Sovetsky Sport when asked about rumours linking Benayoun with Spartak.

"Yossi is happy at Liverpool, he played the full 90 minutes on Monday against West Ham.

"Benayoun wants to remain in the best league in the world, with Liverpool, to continue to battle for the title, which this year the club is closer than ever to winning."
