Liverpool are reportedly interested in 22-year-old Danish full-back Anton Gaaei, having monitored him in action for Ajax.
According to a report from Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Liverpool sent scouts to watch 22-year-old Ajax full-back Anton Gaaei recently. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool follow up on their interest with an offer to sign the young and highly-rated right-back.
The Danish right-back could prove to be a quality replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold if the England international leaves the club at the end of the season. The Englishman’s contract expires in the summer and he has not signed an extension with the Reds yet.
In addition, Alexander-Arnold is a target for Real Madrid over a Bosman move heading into the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, the 22-year-old defender has done quite well with Ajax this season, and he could prove to be a quality long term investment for Liverpool.
The opportunity to join Liverpool will be quite exciting for the young defender, and he will be tempted to move to a bigwig. Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies regularly.
Anton Gaaei could be an asset for the Reds
Anton Gaaei is highly rated across Europe, and he has a bright future ahead of himself. He will want to compete at the highest level in the near future, and Liverpool could be the ideal destination. The Reds have done well to nurture talent and young players in the past, and they could help the Ajax defender fulfill his tremendous potential.
The 22-year-old Dane has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in English football, and it will be interesting to see if he can adapt to the Premier League quickly. Liverpool need to start planning for a future without Alexander-Arnold, who is yet to commit his long term future to the club, and it is no surprise that they are looking at potential right-back options.
They have been linked with other players in recent months as well, and it will be interesting to see who they end up signing. Meanwhile, apart from Gaaei, Liverpool have their sights set on Jorrel Hato and Mika Godts.
