Lucas Leiva seeking Liverpool exit

Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva states his intention to move away from Anfield due to his lack of action on the field.

Lucas Leiva has revealed that he is "looking around" for a new club after falling out of favour at Liverpool.

The 27-year-old midfielder has made just two starts for the Reds this season in the Premier League, and has yet to complete a full 90 minutes of action.

A move to Napoli in the summer reportedly broke down, although a reunion with former manager Rafael Benitez could now be back on the cards.

"I'm not speaking to anyone at the moment because I'm under contract, but I am looking around, given I am not playing," the London Evening Standard quotes Lucas as saying.

"There was contact with Napoli last summer, but the parties didn't reach a satisfactory agreement. It's true that Benitez has always held me in high esteem."

The Brazilian joined Liverpool from Gremio in 2007.
