'Goosebumps' - 33 goal Dutch striker 'dreaming' of Liverpool transfer move

Wolfsburg forward Wout Weghorst has admitted he would love to play for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool in the future.

The 27-year-old says he has ambitions of playing in the Premier League before the end of his career and has called the Anfield side ‘very special’.

Signed from Dutch outfit AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2018, Weghorst has since scored 33 times in 70 appearances in Germany, following Bas Dost and Edin Dzeko as strikers who have excelled at the club in the past.

Weghorst told Goal and DAZN : "I always found Liverpool very special.

"I still get goosebumps from ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’.

"There are other great English clubs too, and I always liked Milan because so many Dutch played there.

"I am ambitious and want to get ahead - maybe at some point play at another club, whether in Germany or in England.

"But at the moment it is still far away. I feel good and try to achieve the maximum here."

Weghorst, who has scored 15 goals in 35 appearances this season, is likely to feature as Wolfsburg face Augsburg this weekend in their first match back in the Bundesliga.

The German top flight will become the first of the top-five European leagues to return, with Ligue 1 in France already having been cancelled.
