The 24-year-old Ivory Coast centre half has been linked with a number of high profile clubs over the last six months, including Real Betis and Arsenal, where a couple of his international team mates have been touting him about. Bamba now claims that Rafa Benitez is keen to take him to Anfield. Liverpool are hot on the trail of ex Rangers misfit Sotirios Kyrgiakos, and according to Bamba, he could soon join him. Bamba also claims it’s not just Liverpool on his trail, he said:
Hibs defender Sol Bamba has today claimed that English Premiership giants Liverpool want to sign him.
"I've been told by my agent there has been a lot of interest in me in the summer," Bamba told The Daily Record.
"Liverpool, Lorient and Grenoble are all following me, and obviously it's flattering.
"Any player would be attracted to a club of Liverpool's size, but I can't think too much about that until there is a concrete offer from them."
Bamba has been a revelation for the Hibees since signing from Dunfermline Athletic last summer in a £50,000 deal.
