Monaco striker Benjamin Moukandjo is flattered to be linked with Premier League giants Liverpool but insists he is likely to stay at the French club.
Kenny Dalglish’s side will reportedly make a move for the Cameroonian player if they fail to bring Lille’s Gervinho to Anfield.
Moukandjo only joined Monaco in January for €500,000 (£440,000) from Ligue 2 club Nimes but could be set to leave after Laurent Banide’s side were relegated last weekend.
The 22-year-old, who has scored three goals in 16 Ligue 1 appearances, has spoken about Liverpool’s interest.
“Personally I have heard of the Liverpool rumours. It’s flattering but in reality I will probably stay at Monaco unless the dream comes true,” Moukandjo told Sky Sports.
Monaco’s 2-0 home defeat to Lyon on Sunday confirmed the club’s relegation to Ligue 2.
