The Dutchman knows Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum well.
Swansea City take on Liverpool in the Premier League this afternoon. The Swans are hoping to pick up a crucial three points in their hunt for survival in the Premier League this season. Liverpool on the other hand need to continue winning if they are to maintain pace with the Premier League title challengers – with Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal all now considering themselves in the hunt.
It will also see two old friends going head-to-head at Anfield.
Swansea City’s Leroy Fer celebrates scoring their first goal
Leroy Fer and Georginio Wijnaldum will likely go up against each other in midfield today, as they look to win a personal battle.
The pair know each other very well. Both were born in 1990 and came through the ranks together at Dutch club Feyenoord. They also came through the youth system together with the Dutch national team.
Fer posted this message on his Twitter account ahead of the game, as he looks to get one over his old friend:
Of course, the chances look slim.
Swansea are looking like serious relegation candidates and Liverpool have the ability to tear teams apart if they are in the mood.
Fer will hope that he can at least shackle his old pal.
