It would be a “dream come true,” according to Conor Bradley, for Liverpool to win the Premier League this year.

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

In the title race, Liverpool is 13 points clear of Arsenal, and if they win two of their remaining six games, they will be crowned champions.

If we can cross the line, Bradley said to BBC Sport NI, “It would be really special.”

“Every time you join a club like Liverpool, you yearn for a title.”

If Liverpool beat Leicester City and lost to Ipswich Town earlier that afternoon, Liverpool could win the title.

Bradley, however, isn’t interested in getting sucked into the permutations.

The full-back, who has made 14 Premier League appearances this season, added, “We just have to keep playing our football.”

We are at the top of the league for a reason because of our excellent football, and we should be able to do that for a few more games, which I’m sure will inspire great celebrations if we do it.

“It’s been a little frustrating for me because of injuries, but I’m really happy to be back and forth with the team, and I’m hoping to contribute as much as I can to bringing the Premier League back home.”

Despite his injuries, Bradley’s performances this year have been praised, most notably in the 2-0 Champions League victory over Real Madrid, which featured a brutal tackle on French star Kylian Mbappe.

Bradley could be even more important in the upcoming seasons as Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract expires, and the 23-time world champion has an unwavering desire to work for Liverpool.

He claimed, “It’s my dream club.”

“I’ve been a Liverpool fan my entire life, so I’m enjoying my time here.

I just want to keep working really hard, performing well for the club, and if possible, bringing hometrophies.

After months of speculation, Bradley, who is personally involved in ongoing contract negotiations, was relieved to see Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah both sign new contract extensions to stay at Anfield.

The fans like me find it really beneficial because they believe in the club and are confident that it is moving in the right direction, he said.

It’s a privilege to play with players of [their] calibre.

It demonstrates to me that perseverance pays off.

Bradley added that Rory McIlroy’s success at the Masters last weekend has inspired him as he approaches his own memorable triumph.

The County Tyrone native was shocked by McIlroy’s determination to win the career Grand Slam after watching his fellow sportsman from Northern Ireland claim the green jacket on television.

“Rory is a tremendous inspiration. Rory’s actions last week were incredible, extraordinary, and amazing, he said.

It demonstrates to me that perseverance pays off. He has been attempting to accomplish it for 11 years.
