Liverpool target Stefan Kiessling fuels transfer rumours by admitting that he is "thinking about" his future at Bayer Leverkusen.

Reported Liverpool target Stefan Kiessling has suggested that he is considering leaving Bayer Leverkusen in the upcoming transfer window.

The 31-year-old has been forced to start from the bench in recent weeks following the summer arrival of Javier Hernandez, but managed to bag a brace in Leverkusen's 5-0 demolition of Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday.

"I've got to be honest and say we'll have to see," he told Sky Sport Deutschland when asked about a move. "I've given it some thought and I will keep thinking about it.

"The situation is that of course I would like to be playing – I've been here for 10 years and love this club and everybody knows how happy I am here.

"I've got a pretty good relationship with the fans and of course also with the club. I love playing here and I love this club, and it's overall a very, very difficult situation for me and everybody knows this."

Kiessling is thought to be one of Jurgen Klopp's primary targets in his first transfer window as Reds manager next month.
