Kenny Dalglish refused to be drawn on speculation linking Chelsea striker Fernando Torres with a shock return to Liverpool.

Torres has been a major disappointment since joining Chelsea from Liverpool 12 months ago and reports have suggested the Blues are prepared to offload the Spaniard for a knockdown £20m.

Such talk has been quashed by Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas who has insisted the forward is not for sale at any price.

But the speculation persists that Torres could be on the move, with Liverpool a potential suitor on account of the underwhelming efforts of the Spaniard's replacement at Anfield, Andy Carroll.

"We will not speculate on anybody, whether they are our players or anybody else's players," Dalglish said when asked if Torres was a target. "It does not matter what is said, there will always be speculation, and we will not be there to answer every question.

"We will do our business where we have been brought up to do our business, which is in private and behind closed doors."
