England ace Owen Hargreaves has revealed that if he was to leave
Bayern Munich, the club he'd most like to play for would be
Liverpool.
The 23-year-old midfielder admits he would be interested in moving
to the Premiership in the summer after the Euro 2004 finals and has
pinpointed Anfield as the destination of his choice.
"After seven years I'm starting to feel that I want to play
elsewhere," he said. "Sometimes you just know when it's time to
move on and take a new step. That time might be now or maybe it
will be after another season. But I'm very excited about the next
few years and thinking where I might end up.
"The Premiership, in particular, is brilliant and the fans are
fantastic and just to be there every week would be a dream for me.
I'd also be very much closer to my family because it's quite
possible that, if I got transferred, my parents might move from
Canada and return to England."
"Liverpool, with a new manager, will be looking to strengthen their
squad. With one or two new players they could be a very talented
team. The basis is already there with Stevie Gerrard and Michael
Owen. That would be a great destination for me, and I think I would
fit in really well.
"Arsenal are a wonderful team. I've seen a lot of them this season
and they've definitely been the best team in Europe; it's just a
shame they went out to Chelsea in the Champions League. I'd love to
play for them but I just don't know if they need any new
players.
"Manchester United are in a bit of transition and Chelsea have a
wad of money to spend on who they want. If I had carte blanche to
choose I would say I'd be a good fit at Liverpool."
