TRANSFER BLOW! Liverpool and Tottenham target Max Meyer happy at Schalke

Max Meyer is happy at Schalke - despite talk of a move to Liverpool or Tottenham.

The 20-year-old is tipped for a big future and he shone for Germany's under-23s at the Rio Olympics - helping them claim silver.

Liverpool and Tottenham were both linked with the attacking midfielder in summer, but he ended up staying put after a transfer window full of speculation.

And now, Meyer has insisted he is happy at Schalke as he believes that the club can grow during his time there.

"I've got two years left on my contract here," Meyer told Sport1.

"And if you are referring to what happened during those final two transfer days - I will not leave the club through the back door.

"I've said that I won't leave this summer, and that stands. I know that we have a lot of potential here, we've added good players, and a good coach.

"We can achieve a lot and play a good role in the Bundesliga."
