Liverpool Holds Aces In Pursuit Of Racing Genk Sta Bruyne

Racing Genk star Kevin De Bruyne admits his rise this year has surprised him.

De Bruyne is a long-term target for Arsenal and in six months has seen his transfer price jump from €500,000 to €10 million.

"€10 million, it's crazy isn't it?" laughed De Bruyne.

De Bruyne was key to beating Porto in the Champions League last week and the youngster revealed: "The coach of FC Porto after the match asked for my shirt. Why? I do not know. But I thought it was an honor."

Interestingly, Racing are in talks with Liverpool about a collaboration agreement which could give the Reds first option on De Bruyne.
