Liverpool transfer target confesses love for club after skipping bedtime to watch Istanbul final
David Hancko has revealed that he is a Liverpool fan amid transfer links with the Reds.
The Slovakian's agent has recently claimed that Liverpool are interested but expects him to stay at Feyenoord for now. The 26-year-old has a contract at the Eredivisie side until June 2028.
Hancko has shone for the Dutch club since joining them in a €6million deal from Sparta Prague in August 2022. He played a role in their Eredivisie title while making 45 appearances in all competitions with the club last season.
In a recent interview, he opened up on transfer interest from the Reds whilst admitting that he watched the club's famous 2005 Champions League win against AC Milan. Liverpool came from 3-0 down at half-time in Istanbul back in May 2005 to draw 3-3 before winning the European Cup on penalties.

"It all started with the Istanbul Champions League final in 2005, which my parents allowed me to watch until the end, and I didn’t have to go to bed even when extra time was going on. And then came Martin Skrtel," he told Aktuality.
"I have been a Liverpool fan ever since. I follow the English Premier League the most, so that is my dream. My role model has always been David Beckham, but I feel most for Liverpool, but so far nothing is happening. Because of my new contract it won’t be easy. If there is a possibility and it is good for us, why not?"
