Liverpool title win would be 'so special' - Bradley

Conor Bradley says it would be a "dream come true" to help Liverpool clinch the Premier League title this season.

The 21-year-old Northern Ireland international, who was part of side that won the League Cup last season, has featured in the past two games for Arne Slot after recovering from a hamstring injury that kept him out for four league matches.

Liverpool are 13 points ahead of Arsenal in the title race and will be crowned champions if they win two of their remaining six games.

"It would be really special if we can get over the line," Bradley told BBC Sport NI.

"Whenever you join a club like Liverpool you dream of winning the Premier League.

"I have supported Liverpool all of my life and bringing home the Premier League would be so special."

Liverpool could clinch the title as early as Sunday should they beat Leicester City and Arsenal lose to Ipswich Town earlier that afternoon.

Bradley, though, does not want to get caught up in the permutations.

"We have just got to keep playing our football," added the full-back, who has made 14 Premier League appearances this season.

"We are top of the league for a reason, because we have played really good football, and hopefully if we can do that for a few more games we should have it won and I am sure there would be great celebrations if we do it too.

"It's been a bit of a frustrating year for me with injuries, but I am really happy to be back and back with the team, and hopefully I can help as much as I can and bring the Premier League home."

Despite his injuries, Bradley's performances have again drawn praise this season, most notably in a 2-0 Champions League win over Real Madrid that featured a crunching tackle on French star Kylian Mbappe.

With Trent Alexander-Arnold possibly leaving at the end of the season when his current contract expires, Bradley could be even more central in the seasons ahead and the 23-times capped international has an unwavering desire to be at Liverpool.

"It's my dream club," he said.

"I am a Liverpool fan all my life so I am enjoying my time here.

"I just want to keep working really hard and keep doing well for the club and keep bringing trophies home if possible."

Bradley, who is involved in ongoing contract talks himself, was thrilled to see Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk recently sign contract extensions to remain at Anfield, especially after months of speculation.

"It's really good for the likes me because they are putting faith in the club and they know the club is going in the right direction," he said.

"To play with players of [their] calibre is a privilege.

"Just how good they are, not just in games but in training every day, and the things you can learn of them, it's brilliant and good for every Liverpool fan out there."

As he nears his own memorable triumph, Bradley added that he has taken inspiration from golfer Rory McIlroy's success at the Masters last weekend.

The County Tyrone native, a keen golfer himself, watched his fellow sportsman from Northern Ireland claim the green jacket on television and was struck by McIlroy's determination in completing the career Grand Slam.

"Rory's a massive inspiration. I think what Rory did last week was unbelievable, what he did was so special, so amazing to complete the Grand Slam," he said.

"It shows me that hard work pays off. He been trying for 11 years to get it done.

"I am really proud and pretty sure everyone back home has the same feeling."
