Danish side Nordsjælland want to take young Liverpool striker Bobby Duncan on loan for the season.
The 18 year old, who is the first cousin of Steven Gerrard, is highly regarded at Liverpool, having come up through their youth set-up, and featured in their pre-season plans. However, he has some concerns about his route to first-team football at the club and is amenable to the idea of going abroad for a spell.
Nordsjælland are prepared to offer him regular football and are also ready to pay his salary in full for the time that he is with them.
Duncan scored 32 goals for the Liverpool academy side last season and impressed again on Monday night, playing for their under-23s against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. However, he was unable to prevent them going down to a 3 – 0 defeat against a strong home team that included the likes of Michy Batshuayi and Antonio Rudiger.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
