With the MLS drawing a bigger and bigger crowd, and an increasing number of youngsters being formed there before trying their luck in Europe, it’s no surprise to see a number of them wanting to play in the Premier League.
After all, the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United have always been the dream for many young football players, regardless of where they start their career, and it’s no different for Kyle Duncan, George Weah’s nephew, whose aim it is to play for the Reds at Anfield.
Recently leaving New York Red Bull in the MLS to sign for KV Oostende in Belgium on a free transfer, the 24-year-old right-back was interviewed by his new club’s website, who asked him what his goals are going forward as a footballer.
“Liverpool are my favourite team, they really play the type of game I dream of. Yes, it’s my dream to play there someday. Whether that will ever happen, I don’t know, but I will continue to work hard to keep taking steps.”
It’s clear that Duncan is focused on the task at hand, having finally made the leap over the Atlantic Ocean to get his career started in Europe, with one goal in mind.
As he said, whether the USA international (one cap) ends up playing for Liverpool one day remains to be seen, but there’s still plenty of time left for him to achieve that, and if he shines in Belgium, who knows what might happen next?
