Long rejects exit rumours

West Brom striker Shane Long insists he has no intention of leaving The Hawthorns in January.

The forward has managed eight goals to date this term and has been tentatively linked with Premier League rivals Liverpool, who are in need of attacking additions.

Long, however, remains unconcerned by the speculation surrounding his future and is adamant he will not be moving on in January.

"I'm just concentrating on my football, I'm enjoying playing up front, I love my job," he said. "It's very enjoyable at the moment and I'll let the rumours take care of themselves."

After making a fantastic start to the season, West Brom have suffered three consecutive defeats, but Long insists they will get back to winning ways sooner rather than later.

He added: "We've still got that confidence in us. We're still fairly close in the league and want to look at the teams above us and try and hang on to them rather than looking down.

"We'll forget about the last three results. We're playing well, we're confident on the ball. Once we get that rub of the green, results will start going our way."

The Baggies host West Ham on Sunday and can be backed at 1/1 to take all three points. The Hammers are 11/4 to secure the win and the draw is priced at 5/2.
