SAHIN MIGHT STAY
Friday, August 31st, 2012Liverpool’s latest signing Nuri Sahin has said that he does not want to rule out the possibility of staying at Anfield beyond the end of his loan spell. Liverpool recently managed to capture Nuri Sahin from Real Madrid on a season long loan deal under the noses of Arsenal. Arsenal were thought to be the favourites for his signature, but the sudden entry of Liverpool coupled with negotiations dragging on meant that the Merseyside club was successful in getting the 23-year-old on the books for one season. Currently, Liverpool only have the option of having the player for one season before he will be returning to Real Madrid.
However, the 23-year-old, who endured a disappointing first season with the Spanish club has said that there is every possibility that he could end up staying at the club. Nuri Sahin has been seen as the only missing link in the attempts to get into the top four by Liverpool. He is also expected to settle extremely well in the Liverpool line-up due to the passing style of football employed by the manager Brendan Rodgers. Many have said that he is a typical Brendan Rodgers player because of his style of football. Nuri Sahin has not disagreed with this fact.
“The project with Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers is the best for my situation I think – that is why I am here. I think the style I play is the same as how the manager wants the team to play. I have settled in very well and I hope it will be the same on the pitch and that we will have a great season. I am looking forward to playing this year here and after we will see,” said the 23-year-old after signing for the Merseyside club. He could make his debut against Arsenal this weekend.
