Ismaila Sarr says any player would be interested in playing for Liverpool and wants to join a team challenging for silverware should he leave Watford.
The 22-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League champions following Watford s relegation to the Championship.
He scored five top-flight goals in the 2019-20 campaign, including a brace in his side s shock 3-0 win over Liverpool in February, and set up four more.
But while the Senegal international is open to a move to Anfield, he is not actively seeking a transfer from Watford during the close season.
Liverpool are a really great team, everyone would love to play there, he told Senegalese publication Sans Limites.
“Goalscorer for Watford: Number 23, Ismaïla Sarr!”
