Liverpool’s Dutch international Dirk Kuyt revealed on Thursday that Bundesliga side Hamburg was one of the options he was considering if he eventually decides to leave Anfield.

“I’m proud that such a big club like this is interested in me,” the 31-year-old striker told local media.

“But there are other options,” he added, without giving details.

Kuyt said he had received favourable reports about Hamburg from his fellow Dutch internationals Rafael van der Vaart, Nigel de Jong and Joris Mathijsen.

Kuyt is waiting to find out who will replace Kenny Dalglish as manager before deciding on whether to move on from Merseyside.
