Former Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse admits he would relish a dream return to the club, and insists that he never got the opportunity to prove himself at Anfield.
Djibril Cisse netted just 12 goals in two seasons at Anfield
Cisse, currently plying his trade with Greek side Panathinaikos, joined Liverpool for £14 million in 2004, having been singned by Gerard Houllier just before he was replaced by Rafael Benitez.
He struggled to make an impact under Benitez and his first season was cut short by an horrific leg break, though he returned to lift the Champions League - netting a penalty in the shootout victory over AC Milan.
A move back to France with Marseille followed in 2006, before he returned to England on loan with Sunderland. After the Wearsiders declined to sign him permanently he moved to Greece, where he flourished last season, scoring 23 goals.
And now Cisse, who was part of the France squad that endured a torrid World Cup, has revealed that he would love another opportunity to prove himself in the Premier League with the Merseysiders.
"At Liverpool I didn't have my chance," Cisse said. "At Sunderland I had a good time but I fancy coming back to Liverpool - that would be nice.
"I like Arsenal because my friends are there, Manchester is nice, but my club is Liverpool. From my point of view, England is one of the best if not the best place to play football."
