VfB Stuttgart striker Sasa Kalajdzic makes Liverpool transfer admission

VfB Stuttgart striker Sasa Kalajdzic has issued a come-and-get-me plea to Liverpool, admitting he would find it 'really tough' to reject a move to the Reds if Jurgen Klopp's side ever came calling for his services.

The 6ft 7 striker is one of the leading goalscorers in the Bundesliga this season, scoring 13 goals from 26 games in all competitions, including seven in his last seven appearances.

Previously linked with a move to West Ham, the 23-year-old's future has been the subject of speculation as a result with a number of sides reportedly impressed by his performances this year.

Despite such reports, Kalajdzic has insisted he is happy at Stuttgart and isn't actively looking to leave the club.

But while Liverpool aren't one of the sides to have been credited with interest in the Austrian, he has revealed the Reds are 'special' to him and would turn his head.

“I feel completely at home at VfB, but it would be a really tough decision because I really like Liverpool,” he told BILD.

“This club is simply special to me. When I was a kid, I saw the Champions League final in 2005 when Liverpool came back from 3-0 down against Milan to win. That gripped me.

“The last time I went to a Liverpool game with my brother, I really kitted myself out: I bought myself a scarf, jersey, cap and a mug.”
