Euro Paper Talk: Danish star admits he fancies Liverpool switch

A RB Leipzig striker has expressed his desire to move to Liverpool, while Lionel Messi has advised Neymar to spurn Real Madrid and move to England this summer, according to Monday’s European papers.

 

DANISH STRIKER ADMITS HE WANTS MOVE TO LIVERPOOL

RB Leipzig forward Yussef Poulsen has expressed his wish to one day join Liverpool.

The Denmark international will see his Leipzig teammate Naby Keita move to Anfield this summer and Poulsen admits he dreaming of following the Guinean star to Merseyside.

Speaking to German newspaper Bild, Poulsen said: “I would try it sometime in another league. But, whether that is 2021 or 2025 – no idea. The Premier League would generally interest me. That would fit well with my game.

“As a kid I ‘kept’ (supported) Liverpool. My best friend was a fan of the club – and then you are somewhere, too. In Denmark there was no other foreign league on TV.”

Former Lyngby man Poulsen can play as either a central striker or as a winger and has scored 37 goals in 153 appearances during his time in the Bundesliga.

The player, 23, was recently linked with moves to Wolfsburg and Borussia Monchengladbach.

SALAH ADVISED TO MOVE

Mohamed Salah has been advised by Mido to leave Liverpool on the back of his PFA Player of the Year award.

Salah’s fellow Egyptian says the Liverpool man should move to one of the European super powers while he has the option.

Mido told ON Sport: “With all due respect to Liverpool and his fans, Salah should immediately accept any offer from Real Madrid or Barcelona.

“He has been amazing with Liverpool the entire season, and could be very useful in La Liga especially with Real Madrid who are suffering from Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema’s horrible form this season.

“With his quality and pace, it should be easy for him to make it in La Liga.

“I’ve been there for a while, and I can say that the likes of Salah have a huge chance to succeed alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and the stars of Real Madrid.”

The 25-year-old striker has blasted 41 goals for Liverpool this summer.
