• Duncan’s agent makes claim in extraordinary statement •
Liverpool disappointed by ‘unfounded allegations’Liverpool have been accused of “mentally bullying” Bobby Duncan by representatives of the 18-year-old and holding the player against his will after rejecting two loan offers for the striker.
Saif Rubie, Duncan’s agent, issued an extraordinary statement on
Twitter on Wednesday that claimed the boyhood Liverpool fan has not left his house for four days because of stress and will not return to the club. It also condemns Liverpool’s sporting director Michael Edwards, claiming he refused to allow the striker, a cousin of Steven Gerrard, to join Fiorentina or Nordsjælland on loan with a view to a permanent transfer next summer.
