Kenny Dalglish Confirms Ryan Babel Is Staying At Liverpool

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has confirmed that winger Ryan Babel will not be leaving the club this January after a proposed move to German side Hoffenheim fell through.

The move to Germany looked done after Liverpool accepted a bid of around $6 million for the Dutchman and even went as far as having a medical, but it seems the deal collapsed on personal terms between the player and Hoffenheim.

Dalglish would not speculate on how long Babel would be at the club, saying: "He's staying here."
