Luuk De Jong, a 21-year-old striker for Dutch club FC Twente, is reportedly a target for Liverpool FC. The Dutch striker is happy playing in his homeland, but would consider moving to a Premier League club in the future, FIFA.com reports.
"I'm still very happy playing for FC Twente," De Jong said. "But every player has dreams, mine is to play in a nice foreign competition one day. And the Premier League is a really nice competition. I don't have real plans for the future — I'll see what comes my way."
De Jong enjoyed a breakout season in 2010-11, firing Twente to a second-place finish in the Eredivisie (Dutch first division). His 12 goals and 12 assists in league play earned him a first call-up to the national team, and put him on the radars of top clubs throughout Europe.
This season has seen him continue to torment opposing defenses. Halfway through the current campaign, De Jong has 10 goals and six assists to his name.
The versaitaile attacker has been used both centrally and on the right side of a three-pronged attack. It was reported that Newcastle and Tottenham are interested in signing him, but those clubs will likely face competition from the Reds.
