Liverpool linked with River Plate hotshot
Higuain
Liverpool have been linked with River
Plate's young striker Gonzalo Higuain.
Sources from River Plate have claimed Barcelona coach Frank
Rijkaard's brother, who is working as an agent, is in negotiations
with Liverpool and a deal maybe concluded by Monday.
But the 20-year-old striker, who was born in France but is
Argentinian, told reporters he knows nothing any possible
transfer.
"I don't know anything about it yet," said Higuain. "I would like
to win something here with River first, before going to Europe. I'm
focused only on River.
"If a formal offer materialises, I will discuss it with my family
and the club."
Higuian notched six goals in 15 domestic league games, plus two
goals in four matches in the Copa Libertadores, and looks like a
real prospect.
He added: "It would be nice to be in Europe, but I want to stay and
win a title at River first.
"Increasingly, players are going to Europe young, but I have to be
patient. I'm progressing well here and I have to continue doing
so.
"But this is are only speculation. We still have to wait for an
official offer but my head is here."
