Kuyt: I wasn't forced out by Rodgers
Forward makes surprise move as new boss clears decks for summer of signings
Dirk Kuyt has denied he was forced out of Liverpool by new boss Brendan Rodgers - insisting he was desperate to join Fenerbahce.
The 31-year-old has joined the Turkish giants on a three-year contract, ending his six-year spell on Merseyside.
Kuyt said: "After six years I am ready for a new challenge," Kuyt said. "The appointment of the new coach has nothing to do with it. But when Fenerbahce came to me and made their ambitions known, from the first moment I was sold. They give me the confidence that I lost."
Kuyt, who had a year to run on his Anfield contract, had been expected to leave Merseyside this summer after a season in which he scored just two Premier League goals.
He claimed last week he had attracted interest from a host of clubs across Europe.
