The Ajax ace would be an excellent addition for Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp manager

Liverpool have been outstanding this season, both domestically and on the continent, but it could be argued that Jurgen Klopp still needs to strengthen in the summer, in order to take his side to another level.

One particular area where the German will surely be looking to bolster is his central midfield department, with more creativity and guile required.

And with this in mind, Liverpool must do all they can to bring Donny van de Beek to Anfield before the start of next season.

The Ajax ace has been in superb form for his club this season, racking up 16 goals and 12 assists in 55 appearances in all competitions thus far.

Van de Beek is a central midfielder by trade, and he possesses exceptional technical ability. He also has a wonderful array of passing, and he would undoubtedly help Liverpool improve upon the fluidity of their play through the middle of the park.

French publication Le Parisien claimed earlier this week that Ajax could be willing to sell the 22-year-old this summer, and will demand somewhere in the region of €55 million (£47 million) for his services.

And in today’s day and age, that would represent excellent value for money for Liverpool, should Klopp manage to bring the Holland international to Merseyside this summer.

The Reds will face plenty of competition for Van de Beek, however, with the likes of Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund also interested in his signature, according to the Daily Mail.
