Toulouse midfielder Moussa Sissoko, since his debut in 2007, has established himself as one of the brightest stars in France's next generation of footballers.

He's become a full international and has caught the eye of some of Europe's biggest clubs, including Liverpool and Manchester United.

Still, the young star had decided to stay in Toulouse to continue his development, but he does admit that eventually, he'll want to make the move to a big English club like Liverpool.

"I would be delighted if one day I am lucky to join a big English club," he told France Football.

"But I don't think about it so far. I had contacts with English clubs, notably Liverpool, but I preferred to commit myself to Toulouse, the club where I have been educated, to get more experience.

"It is up to me to go on improving, to become a world class player, to play in the biggest clubs and to join the French team as soon as possible."

Sissoko, as a box-to-box midfielder, would not fill a position of need for Liverpool, but the 21-year-old's talents are undeniable, and a young player of his caliber would surely be welcome in the side. He is currently valued at just over £10 million, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.
