Published: November 07, 2013
SC Heerenveen central defender Kenneth Otigba has disclosed that he snubbed an offer to join Liverpool in 2012.
But the Hungary Under 21 international says he still dreams of the Premier League club and hopes to play in England before the end of his career.
“My mom told me to go to Liverpool but my agent was more realistic. He said the Dutch school is better than the English.
“English football has always been my dream,” Otigba told Voetbal International.
Last year, Kenneth Otigba, who has made 11 appearances in the Dutch League this season, tested with Liverpool for five days.
And the club were impressed and offered him a three - year contract but this was rejected.
