Wolves striker Ebanks-Blake dreaming of Liverpool not Man Utd

Wolves striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake says it's Anfield - not Old Trafford - that he is looking forward to playing at next season in the Premier League.

The former Manchester United trainee explained to the Sunday Mercury: "Although I was at United I kept my adoration for Liverpool quiet. I never did anything daft like turn up in a Liverpool shirt!

"But my heroes were John Barnes and Robbie Fowler and I made no secret of that.

"Michael Owen was also just breaking through then as well as a talented young striker.

"There were no end of top Liverpool players I admired but the era of Robbie Fowler was probably the one I remember best.

"They were the players I loved to watch - top, top players and players on whom I tried to base my game and learn from."
