“That'd be unbelievable, that. It'd be a dream come true,” Djite told au.fourfourtwo.com today.

“I remember watching him when he was at Leeds and even at Liverpool and how much of a fantastic player he is.”

The Socceroos play Singapore on Saturday night in a warm up match ahead of the crucial AFC World Cup qualifier against China four days later in Kunming.

“We got on really well last year in Singapore. Harry's a great person and to play alongside him would be an absolute honour,” added Djite.

While a large number of A-League based players were called up by Pim Verbeek, an increasing number of European-based stars aside from Kewell, such as Adrian Leijer, James Troisi and Michael Beauchamp, have arrived in camp in Singapore.

“That's where it all started, in Singapore last year, when I was called into camp just before the Asian Cup. So to go back will be fantastic," said Djite.

“I've been in about eight [Socceroo] camps and to keep getting called back is a good sign but I'm still to get a cap so I've still got a bit of work to do.

“Hopefully this time I get my chance – if not, then we just keep working away,” added the Reds striker, who turns 21 later this month.

Djite is due to fly to Singapore on Thursday and he'll hope that he's fit after Wednesday night's Asian Champions League tie in Adelaide against Changchun Yatai - a team Djite is familiar with.

“We [the Young Socceroos] played a tournament in Townsville two years ago, and they played in the tournament, but as you know, players move on in football so I'm assuming half their team is different now.

“At the moment, I don't know too much about them. But they were good back then,” he cautioned.

The Reds undertook a video session on their opponents on Tuesday afternoon before their 5pm training session.

Djite hoped United can back up last week's superb 2-0 win away against Pohang, a game which saw Djite slot home the Reds' second.

And he said Adelaide won't be taking their feet off their Asian Champions League pedal after last week's win - arguably the greatest in the club's four year history.

“There's no chance,” he said. “That was the first game of the competition and the first game is the most important one.

"We've put ourselves in a good position by winning this first game. And in this competition, it's important to win your home games.”

A win against the Chinese would be a huge boost for the Reds with four games to go, but Djite urged circumspection.

“I wouldn't say a win on Wednesday night would put us in the box seat. We play them twice, so there's no point in having a good first match then losing the away game.”

Djite himself has looked sharp in recent weeks for club and country, although the striker said it's nothing to do with his mid-season break he had to take to overcome a leg injury.

“If it wasn't for the injury I can only imagine how sharp I'd be [now]. And when you're injured, you're not really having a break – in fact, you're probably working harder than when you're just playing.”

A unseasonal heatwave in Adelaide - “it's been ridiculous,” said Djite - has made training difficult for the Reds although cooler temperatures are expected by match day with 28 degrees tipped for Wednesday.

In the only change from last week for Aurelio Vidmar's United, Nathan Burns comes in for suspended midfielder Jonas Salley.
