Former Preston North End loanee Sepp van den Berg has explained his decision to turn down local rivals Burnley in favour of a move abroad.
Van den Berg spoke with Vincent Kompany’s side but has explained his reasons for turning them down in favour of a move to Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga – and also the impact PNE had on him.
He said: “To be honest, I already knew during pre-season that I would be loaned out. The chance of playing time at Liverpool is of course small. “It was nice that I was on the bench for four more games in the Premier League this season but I learn the most when I play. “Over the last year and a half I gained a lot of experience at Preston North End in Championship. Just look at my shoulders, I have gained ten kilos only muscle mass.
“Another year Championship was not my preference. I spoke with Burnley, but I still wanted a step higher.
