Last updated : 18 January 2007 By Al Campbell
Kuyt has only been at Anfield five months but he has already told the club's official website he would like to spend the rest of his playing career as a Red.

"You never know what is going to happen in football but it would be perfect if I could stay here for a long, long time," said the striker.

"I'm really happy here and I'm not the kind of player who wants to move to a new club every two years. I'm at the best club in England and one of the biggest in the world so why would I want anything else?

"It's also great for me that I have such a good relationship with the supporters. The respect we have for each other means a lot.

"Everyone inside the club has tried to help me and the fans have been fantastic. The people near to where I live have made it easy for me and my family to settle in a new country and so I'd like to thank everybody for making my early months here so enjoyable."
