Lille Striker Interested In Liverpool Move

Lille forward Moussa Sow has spoken of his admiration for Liverpool, amidst rumours that the 25-year-old is thinking of leaving the French champions during the January transfer window.

Sow was the top scorer in Ligue 1 last season with 25 league goals as he helped his side win the title but in recent weeks reports have suggested that he may look to leave and now the Senegal international has spoken in glowing terms about Liverpool.

"I am at Lille now but as we all know I want to play in England one day," Sow told Sky Sports. "Liverpool, well, that is a dream club. Anyone would be happy, scoring goals in front of the Kop can be the highlight of a career."

Much has been made of the Merseyside's club need for a striker after the club played out a goalless draw with Stoke at the weekend, their seventh home draw of the season.

With Luis Suarez out of action, due to his eight game suspension, and Andy Carroll yet to find his best form at the club, Liverpool have struggled for goals all season.

Liverpool would certainly face plenty of competition for the prolific striker with Fenerbahce and Tottenham also linked with Sow in recent weeks.

Newcastle have already seen the results of buying from the French champions with Yohan Cabaye earning rave reviews after making the move from Lille to St. James Park in the summer.
