Former Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel dismisses reports he could return to the Premier League this summer

Martin Skrtel has ruled out a return to the Premier League, amid reported interest from Newcastle, Stoke and Swansea.

The former Liverpool defender, who spent eight years at Anfield, has been hotly tipped to return to England this summer, with a number of Premier League clubs interested.

However, the Fenerbahce defender has poured cold water on talk of a potential move, insisting he is happy with the Turkish giants.

The Slovakia international told Turkish newspaper Sozcu: "I don't want to leave.

"I have settled in and want to remain at Fenerbahce."

The experienced defender joined Fenerbahce from Liverpool in a £5m switch last summer and still has two years remaining on his current contract.
