Toulouse star flattered by Liverpool interest

Toulouse star Moussa Sissoko admits he has been flattered by rumours linking him with Manchester City and Liverpool.

And the France international has also revealed that he might be ready to try his hand in English football - but only if his club receive the right offer.

The tough-tackling midfielder, who has drawn comparisons to compatriot Patrick Vieira for his all-action style, has been linked with moves away ever since breaking into the first team at Toulouse.

But the 21-year-old is under contract at the club until 2013 and insists he is happy to stay in France, despite the interest from England and Italy.

"I am an ambitious player and I dream to play in the big leagues," he told L'Equipe. "I want to improve as a player and if I am presented with a good opportunity I will take it.

"They talk about Liverpool, Manchester City and Lyon and hearing my name associated with these clubs is wonderful.

"But at the moment there is nothing concrete. I have a contract with Toulouse until June 2013. If I have to stay then it's no problem. Toulouse is a great club."
