Bobby Adekanye: I'm leaving Liverpool; Eredivisie an option

Bobby Adekanye has announced he's leaving Liverpool.

The Dutch striker says he's prepared to return to Holland as he comes off contract in June.

He told Voetbalzone: "I can go to a big club and gain experience there, just play a little less minutes. Or I go to a smaller club and make more minutes there. I have to make a decision about that. I think that I am ready to play somewhere in a first team. That will be a big step, because I have not played professional football yet.

"I have trained with big players, but have not yet played a match and that is not the same."

Adekanye is currently with the Holland U20 squad.

“I spoke to a few guys who are now playing in the Eredivisie and making minutes. They told me that the level is good for young players, so that's advice I can take with me. I can now think about that. I watch the Eredivisie a lot, it looks good and I think it could be a good step to return to the Netherlands.

"But that is one of the options, so we'll see which one I am going to take."
