Hamburg Hoping To Secure Move For Liverpool Attacker

Hamburg appeared to move one step closer in the battle for out-of-favour Liverpool attacker Dirk Kuyt, after club coach Thorsten Fink described him as a “class” player.

The Dutchman has struggled to nail down a starting place in Kenny Dalglish's Liverpool team, with the Kop boss opting to play Jordan Henderson in a wider role.

As such, Kuyt has been regularly used as a substitute this season, and has been told he is free to look for a new club as he enters the final year of his contract.

The former Feyenoord man has been heavily linked with a move back to his former club, with suggestions that he could be offered a player/coach role.

However, Bundesliga side Hamburg has also been touted as a realistic destination, and Fink has fuelled speculation that the club may move for the 31 year-old, by outlining his qualities.

As reported by Sky Sports, Fink told Kicker.de: “He has class, and he is also a fighter. There is nothing more that needs to be said about the quality of this player. Whether this is something we feel we want to commit to, we will see."

Hamburg has endured a difficult campaign, finishing just above the relegation zone.
