Kasımpaşa winger Ryan Babel revealed that his former club Liverpool remains a big part of his life.

Babel still has a house in Liverpool and keeps in contact with the friends he made while playing there.

“Most of the games I try to follow, but I am obviously also playing myself, so sometimes my games are at the same time as Liverpool’s, so I’ll watch the highlights,” Babel told the official Liverpool website.

“Liverpool is still definitely a part of me. Since I left, I’ve remained a big fan. I still have a house in Liverpool and some friends there. They are a part of me and have been a part of my life in my personal development. It was a good experience.”
