Yehven Konoplyanka tells Ukranian TV he’s a Liverpool fan & confirms contact with Brendan Rodgers [Video]

Dnipro’s Yehven Konoplyanka came so very close to joining Liverpool in the January transfer window.

The deal fell through at the last minute but it seems Konoplyanka still has his heart set on joining the title challengers.

Interviewed today on Ukranian TV, the skilful winger claimed he’s now a Liverpool fan and admitted to speaking with Brendan Rodgers.

He said “Liverpool are challenging for the league in England. I’m supporting them. I want them to win it.”

“Yes, us and Rodgers talked a little bit to each other. The interest from Liverpool was very much serious.”

“It (interest) was serious. But now I’m thinking of it only as a dream, because we (Dnipro) are challenging for league.”
