Striker claims Liverpool approach

Last updated : 10 May 2002 By Kop Talk News


Egypt striker Mido has pledged his future to Ajax despite claiming that Liverpool have been trying to sign him.

The 20-year-old has been in outstanding form this season and a host of European clubs have been monitoring him.

Despite the temptation of a big money move, the striker insists he wants to remain where he is to gain more experience before advancing his career.

"Liverpool and Internazionale have both expressed an interest in signing me in the last couple of months," said Mido.

"But it would be safe to say that I desperately need to gain experience if I am to make my mark in the Premiership or Serie A, and Ajax are offering me the chance to do just that."
