Together with my family I chose Liverpool, where I would join the U19 to progress to the main squad. There was even a five-year contract ready, so everything was fine”, Anil Koç told Turkish Portal Hurriyet. "
He continued, "When I returned to Belgium to pick up my stuff, Standard suddenly hung on the line. They immediately promised me a spot with the first team and a great project, on almost the same conditions. That's why we chose Liège, but after a I got off to a good start and I started having problems.
"The new coach didn't need me and sent me on several lending turns (to former sister clubs Charlton and STVV, ndvr.) Sometimes I regret not choosing Liverpool”.
