Young Liverpool defender Andre Wisdom has insisted he will play in any position just to be on the pitch at Anfield.

Wisdom has been given chances to impress at Liverpool by manager Brendan Rodgers this season and he has taken them.



The 19-year-old has been primarily used by Rodgers in the right-back slot, but his natural power has led many to speculate that centre-back is his true position.

And while Wisdom will not argue, he explains that he is not fussy about where he plays as long as he has the opportunity to turn out for Liverpool.

"A lot of people have asked if I’ll play centre-back in a few years’ time", he told Liverpool’s official magazine.

"I just want to be on the pitch. Honestly, I’ll play anywhere.

"I played right-wing for the U18s and I could play in goal if I had to."

The defender has made eleven appearances in the Premier League for the Reds so far this season and is tied down to a long-term contract at Anfield, running until 2018, in a clear sign of just how highly rated he is at the club.
