Once a vocal critic of life at Liverpool, Ukranian striker Andrei Voronin has had a sudden and dramatic change of heart and now appears intent on securing a return to Anfield.
Voronin, who joined Hertha Berlin on loan after failing to make an impact on English football, made himself Public Enemy No 1 on Merseyside after criticising the standard of living in Britain and in particular the city of Liverpool.
Now, in a recent interview with Russia's Pro Sport magazine, the 25-year-old showed himself to be open to a return to the place that he spoke so badly of.
'I'm a leader at Hertha and feel their fans love me but I would like to be a leader in a team which is always fighting to win the Premier League, the Champions League and which have such people playing for them as Steven Gerrard who is a symbol of the city like the Beatles," he was quoted as saying.
'I see no sense in staying in Berlin saying to myself: 'OK, everyone loves me here, why do I need to play for Livepool?'
'I'd really like a new start there. I have a contract with them for two more years. When I joined Liverpool I knew I could play at such a high level and think I proved it. The rotation of the squad by Benitez really enraged me, but he told me from the start about that and I should have been prepared for it."
