Andriy Voronin admits the chances of him returning to Liverpool have increased following the sale of
Robbie Keane.
Voronin was loaned to Hertha Berlin last summer after the
Merseysiders deemed him surplus to requirements following the
acquisition of Keane from Tottenham.
And while the Ukraine international would relish the chance to
make his deal with Hertha permanent, he is aware his first-team
opportunities at Anfield have been boosted by Keane's return to
Spurs.
Voronin told the Bild newspaper: 'There have not been any talks
between (Hertha general manager) Dieter Hoeness, my agent and
me.
'I know my agent has talked with Liverpool though. I still have
a contract there. And now Keane has been sold.
'Before he came last summer I was playing regularly under Rafael
Benitez. With Keane gone, Liverpool don't have many strikers
again.'
Voronin has enjoyed his time in the German capital and would not
rule out staying on a permanent basis.
'I would happily remain here, he added. 'I like it here, as do
my wife and children.
'I just want clarity as soon as possible.'
