Chelsea and Tottenham target Josko Gvardiol admitted that Liverpool would be his “dream club” to sign for.

The RB Leipzig defender has long been tipped to join a Premier League side having starred in both the Bundesliga and the World Cup this term.

Indeed, the 20-year-old was one of the most impressive performers in Qatar, as Croatia reached finished third in the tournament.

Gvardiol, who is valued at £65million by Transfermarkt, has long been linked with a move to Chelsea.

However German publication Bild claim Spurs are also interested in the Croatia international, who is contracted at Leipzig until 2027.

Indeed either side will hope to secure a deal for the player before 2024, when a release clause of £112million reportedly becomes active. Such a fee would make him the most expensive defender in history.

However, Gvardiol has expressed an interest in a different Premier League club entirely.

Gvardiol’s dream club is Liverpool

According to RTLDanas, the centre-back labelled Liverpool as a team close to his heart.

When asked who his dream club would be the Chelsea and Spurs target said: "That would definitely be Liverpool.

“Since I was little, I watched a lot of Liverpool matches with my dad, and we covered every season in detail. It is a club that has remained in my heart."

In the same interview, Gvardiol opened up about the interest he has received from Chelsea.

He said: “[Chelsea] did not give up, but it was agreed that we would go for [a transfer in] the winter. Winter has come, so we need to see what and how to proceed, but it's okay, there's still plenty of time, we'll see.

Gvardiol added: “Since I was a child, I always gravitated towards the English league.

“We all know what kind of league it is. I don't know if I'm mature enough and ready for that league.

“We will see, when I feel that this is the moment, that I have crossed a certain level and reached the border in Germany, then I will look further.”
