The Merseyside giants were in discussions with Pumas for the Mexican and there were claims that an agreement was close to completion.

However, the Reds eventually decided against a formal offer. The winger was left disappointed by the same, but he is waiting for his opportunity.

He told reporters this week: "I already had my suitcase ready, and I dropped it. I know that sooner or later, if I keep doing things right, I'll get the opportunity.

"It's a train that only happens once and I'm focused on Pumas. I come to the national team, and I try to do my best to help my team. I know the rest will come soon."

The 23-year-old has the ability to play anywhere in the frontline and it may not be long before a top Premier League club makes a move for him.

The Reds scouted him on a number of occasions earlier this year. A positive report was sent back to the hierarchy, but a transfer did not materialise.

Huerta will be aiming to keep up his performances in the current campaign so that he can eventually achieve his big dream of playing in Europe.
