Liverpool eye Ajax defender Perr Schuurs

Liverpool are interested in signing Perr Schuurs from Ajax in the January transfer window, according to The Mirror. It has been reported that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff were impressed by the young central defender’s performance against them in the Champions League this season.

The 20-year-old central defender was on trial at Liverpool when he was 17 years of age, but at the time the Premier League giants thought that it would be better to keep him in the Netherlands for him to progress. The youngster has done well during his time at Ajax and is stating to establish himself as an important player in the team.

According to WhoScored, Schuurs has played six times in the Eredivisie and has played twice in the Champions League for Ajax so far this season. During the 2019-20 campaign, the youngster made seven starts and three substitute appearances in the league and played 113 minutes in the Europa League and 108 minutes in the Champions League, according to WhoScored.
