Salzburg striker Patson Daka has told that he supported Liverpool as a child and sees Luis Suarez as his inspiration.

The 22-year-old has scored 20 goals already this season and has been linಞked with a move to Liverpool in the past .

Daka iꦰs proving something of a go♛al machine in the Austrian Bundesliga and looks set for a move to a top European club at some point.

He has plenty of admirers but his latest comm🅰ents could see Liverpool hol🦂d an advantage over their rivals.

Daka insists he was a Liverpool fan as a child and still sees a former striker as one of his heroeღs.

“I’ve always been a Liverpool fan – and Baไrcelona.

“When we played Liverpool la🦋st season in the Champions League at Anfield it was a very special moment.

“The other dream was to face Luis Suarez. He’s the one that impressed me the most.♕ He has always been a big inspiration of mine since I was a🀅 kid. It was special to be able to exchange my jersey with him.”

Zambian international Daka has scored ꦓ54 goals in total for Salzburg and these latest comments might fuel speculation over a Premier League switch.

 previously claimed that Daka is valued at £25 million by Salzburg. Such a♚ su🅘m could represent an absolute steal for Jurgen Klopp and they’d wise to pounce.

Roberto Firmino has flattered to deceive again this season and some more firepower through the centre wo🔜uldn’t go amiss.

Daka is clearly fond of Liv♔erpool and it seems likely that he would prioritise a move to Anfield over any other interest.

If he does rock up at Anfield,🧸 he’d have some big shoes to fill if he were to emulate his hero.

Suarez found the net 82 times in 133 ap🍌pearances for the Reds and quickly become a fa༒n favourite at Anfield.
