English Premier League club Liverpool have reportedly made an 18 million pound bid for Ajax youngster Christian Eriksen and are closing in on a deal to sign the Danish international. An Italian website, TuttoMercatoWeb, is claiming that Eriksen has agreed personal terms with the Anfield side.
The 21-year-old is regarded as one of hottest prospects in European football, and with just a year left on his Ajax contract, Eriksen has made it clear he's open to a move away from the Netherlands side.
Christian Eriksen has made 157 appearances in all competitions for Ajax, scoring 30 goals and providing 40 assists. He has also helped his Amsterdam based side to three successive domestic titles.
Liverpool coach Brendan Rodgers has already welcomed in four new additions to his Liverpool squad but had been strongly linked with interest in Shakhtar Donestk attacker Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who joined German club Borussia Dortmund, indicating that the Northern Irishman was keen to bring in a creative midfield talent this summer.
Rodgers is looking keen to add creative talents to freshen up his midfield and could see Eriksen as a possible long term successor to Steven Gerrard and a player he can build his young side around.
Earlier, Rodgers had made it clear that he will have the final say on who will be joining the club this year. "There is absolutely no way a player will come in here if I don't want him,' Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo.
