Jack O’Connell is preparing for life in the Premier League with Sheffield United, but admits that he would find a move to Liverpool “hard to turn down”.
There has been no suggestion that the Reds are looking at the 25-year-old defender, but he is clinging to a transfer dream.
As a Merseyside native, O’Connell is a lifelong Liverpool supporter.
He has forged a successful career away from his roots, with top-tier football delivered during a productive spell at Bramall Lane, but O’Connell has made no secret of where his allegiances lie.
A man who has been with the Blades since 2016 told Sky Sports as he counts down to the days to the 2019-20 campaign: “All my family are Liverpool fans so we couldn't wait to find out when we played Liverpool and to face them on New Year's Day will be a special moment for me and my family.
