Liverpool eyeing move for versatile Ajax star

Liverpool remain in touch with the Premier League’s top three after cruising to a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday. 

Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, and Mohamed Salah were all on the scoresheet at Anfield, earning Jurgen Klopp’s side a crucial victory in the title race.

The result leaves the Reds fourth in the top flight table, three points behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur.

Up next for Klopp’s side is a trip to the south coast to face Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Wednesday, but in the meantime the Merseyside outfit are reportedly eyeing a move for an Eredivisie star.

Liverpool are considering a move for Ajax defender Devyne Rensch, according to Football Insider.

It is claimed that both Liverpool and Premier League rivals Arsenal are monitoring the Dutchman, who is naturally a right-back but is capable of playing in other defensive roles.

Rensch has attracted interest from both Arsenal and Liverpool

Rensch, 20, is a product of the Ajax youth system and made his senior debut for the club during the 2020/21 season.

He has now made a total of 101 appearances for his boyhood club, winning the Dutch top flight twice.

This season has been a very different story for Ajax, though, as the Eredivisie side have endured a horrific start to the campaign and currently sit bottom of the table.

As well as playing at right-back, Rensch is also able to operate at centre-back, left-back, and as a defensive midfielder.

The report claims that Liverpool boss Klopp is keen to bolster his options at right-back, where Trent Alexander-Arnold has established himself as first choice.

With the January transfer window fast approaching, Liverpool are said to be considering a move for Rensch as Klopp looks to add to the options available to him on the right of his backline.

At present, Rensch is contracted to the Amsterdam outfit until the summer of 2025.
