A Helsingborgs IF defender has made clear his desire to eventually play for Liverpool FC one day. Demba N’diaye, who only joined Helsingborgs IF on January 30th of this year, has already caught the attention of clubs from across Europe — and he has made no secret of where he ultimately wants to end up.

The French-born Senegalese defender signed a three-year deal with the Swedish Superettan side after impressing during a trial, having previously come through the Le Havre academy before spells at Angers SCO and Dunkerque.​ Despite playing just two competitive matches for his new club – both Swedish Cup ties against Elfsborg and Sirius – Helsingborgs manager Stevie Grieve has already confirmed that the phone has been ringing. “I’ve received a couple of phone calls,” Grieve told Swedish outlet HD, with Sportbladet reporting that some of that interest originates from clubs in the United Kingdom.​ N’diaye himself is aware of the buzz surrounding him, though he is keeping his feet firmly on the ground for now.

Liverpool’s name has not been specifically linked as one of the clubs who made contact, meaning the 20-year-old may need to continue his impressive development at Helsingborgs before any top-level move materialises. Demba N'diaye Helsingborgs IF
