"A big dream to play there" - Reported Liverpool transfer target signals desire to move to the Premier League 

Fluminese midfielder Andre Trindade has expressed his desire to play in the Premier League amidst links with a move to Liverpool.

Andre helped Fluminese beat Al Ahly in the FIFA Club World Cup semi-final on Monday, December 18. They will compete in the final on Friday against one of Manchester City or Urawa Reds.

After the semi-final win, Andre said that he wants to move to the Premier League in the future, saying (via ECHO):

"I watch the Premier League and it's a big dream to play there.

"I'm focused on finishing the season with Fluminense and realising our own dream of winning the Club World Cup. But my dream is clear, to be a Premier League player."

Liverpool have been linked with Andre since the summer transfer window. However, Fluminese were adamant about keeping the midfielder until the Copa Libertadores final, which they won last month.

As per ECHO though, the Reds' interest in Andre has started to fade away with Alexis Mac Allister and Wataru Endo playing in the No. 6 role. Moreover, youngster Stefan Bajcetic is expected to return to action soon after a long-term injury.

Aside from the Merseysiders, Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in signing Andre in January. The 22-year-old midfielder has made 169 appearances for Fluminese and also earned four caps for Brazil.
