He is being linked with a move to the Anfield club, but insisted he is happy at Tyneside.
Asked by Sky Sports how he approaches games involving teams he used to admire, he stated: "It's the same as any other match.
“It doesn't matter to me who I'm playing, my preparation is always the same.
It's always at the best level it can be. I would be lying if I said there wasn't a bit more motivation to just show yourself and do well."
