VIDEO: Alex Teixeira is not a happy man as he discusses his dream to join Coutinho at Liverpool

“It would be an honour to defend the Liverpool shirt.”

Alex Teixeira isn’t playing coy anyway.

The Shakhtar Donetsk attacker is “frustrated” that his club have rejected the advances of Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool but it hasn’t quashed his desire to move to Anfield.

According to the Brazilian, Liverpool have made one offer of 32 million euros for the 26-year-old but that it was turned down and now he is playing a waiting game.

“I know my agent is still attempting everything possible to get me to Liverpool,” he told Stefano Fusaro of NBC and Anfield HQ. “I’ve played with Coutinho since we were 10 years old. It would be a lot of fun to play with him again.

“The way I play, is always looking to score. I can definitely add an attacking threat.”

That’s Liverpool fans convinced anyway.
