http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251, has revealed that he always wanted to play in the Premier League, and has set high targets with the Reds this season.
The Merseyside outfit signed the Turkish International on a season-long loan deal from Real Madrid, close to the transfer deadline day.
The inventive schemer was deemed surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu, as Jose Mourinho’s squad is currently brimming with world class players.
During the summer transfer window, Sahin was heavily linked to making a switch to the EPL, with initially http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 emerging as favourites to claim his signature.
However, if some reports are to be believed, the Gunners boss, Arsene Wenger, wanted to include the term of signing him on a permanent contract at the end of the season. Madrid refused to accept that proposal. Hence, the 24-year old opted to Join Liverpool
instead.
Sahin made his EPL debut against Arsenal in his side’s 2-0 defeat earlier this month.
Having fulfilled his dream of featuring in the English league, the midfielder was now relishing the opportunity to work alongside the Reds legend, Steven Gerrard.
He said that he communicated his apprehensions to Mourinho of not being able to get enough playing time in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, and feels that he will further improve as a player during his spell at Anfield.
“I am going to learn lots of things here from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196. I have played in the Bundesliga and in La Liga but the Premier League was the missing part,” he told the reporters in an interview.
“I want to play football. I talked about this with Jose Mourinho. The best offer came from Liverpool, and I chose them.”
Liverpool will lock horns with Manchester United on Sunday, in a fixture which is considered by many as the biggest in the Premier League.
Before that, the Red Devils will take on the Turkish club, Galatasaray, in a Champions League group game on Wednesday.
The Turkish footballer believes that their rivals are in for a tough game on Wednesday, and backed his countrymen to pull off an unlikely result.
“Galatasaray have a strong squad. They will finish at the top of the group,” he added.
Liverpool will themselves play against Young Boys on Thursday, in a Europa League match.
