Ozan Kabak has admitted that he is unsure whether he will be signing a permanent deal at Liverpool, but the centre-back is desperate to stay with the Reds on a long-term basis.

The 21-year-old joined the Merseyside outfit on loan from Schalke 04 in January and has made 13 appearances for the club in all competitions.

A recent report claimed that Liverpool had decided against signing the Turkey international on a permanent basis, but Kabak is still hopeful of remaining at Anfield beyond the end of the season.

"It's Liverpool. Of course I want to stay," Kabak told The Times. "These five months have been very valuable for my career, my personality. I have met with very good people, very good footballers.

"I have worked with a manager like Jurgen [Klopp]. Now I have a lot of experience with these stars. I would say they are stars. There are a lot of stars on our team. Even to train with them makes you better.

"You progress with your game even in training. Yes, these five months have been very good for me, I think, regardless of whether I stay or not. Jurgen has not said anything yet (about my future). We don't speak about this topic so far.

"This is a huge club. I am very proud to wear this jersey so far. Every moment, every single minute, I am proud. We will see what is going to happen next season, but whatever it is I have really enjoyed it and appreciate what everyone has done for me."

Kabak has missed Liverpool's last four Premier League matches through injury. body check tags ::
