“My agent is still locked in talks with my club and a scout of Liverpool and a deal could be concluded very soon.” He reportedly told Ghana’s Top Radio. “Nothing has been decided yet on whether I will join Liverpool on loan or move permanently.
“Liverpool is one of the biggest names in football and so if everything goes well and the Lord allows it, everyone will see where I am going and hopefully, it will be Liverpool, which will be a big step for me.”
Inkoom is a regular at right back for his national team. He has made 25 appearances for the Black Stars, including five in its run to the quarterfinals of the 2010 World Cup.
He started his professional career as a teenager in Ghana, where he played 18 months with Kumasi Asante Kotoko. He then joined Switzerland’s FC Basel in the summer of 2009. Last January saw him move to his current team, Ukrainian Premier League club Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, for £4.7 million ($7.4 million).
If he joins the Reds, he will compete for the problematic right-back spot in the first team with Glen Johnson and Martin Kelly.
