Liverpool Transfers: Updates On 10 Biggest Summer Rumours

6. Toby Alderweireld

The Reds have been watching the progress of the 24 year-old Belgian international over the past few months, and the big Ajax centre-half is a high priority for Brendan Rodgers over the summer. The retirement of Jaime Carragher combined with the uncertainty surrounding Martin Skrtel and Sebastian Coates, has meant that defenders are at the top of the FSG€™s shopping list. Alderweireld has enjoyed a successful season at Ajax this term helping them to a comfortable lead at the top of the Eredivisie with five matches remaining. Having attracted interest from Newcastle United also, Alderweireld has made it clear that he does not want a move to the North East of England. €œI do not want to play in an English club in mid-table,€ said Alderweireld whilst speaking with France Football. The Belgian who has one year left on his current contract in Holland and would cost around £7million and also stated €œunlike Newcastle, Liverpool meets my criteria.€ He too fits the criteria for Rodgers and the FSG€™s youth policy and would be a good acquisition.
