Liverpool are in talks to sign Ajax youngster Ki-Jana Hoever.

The Liverpool Echo says right-back Hoever has been training at Kirkby Academy this week - with his contract at the Dutch giants running out at the end of last season.

The 16-year-old managed 13 appearances for Ajax's under 17 side last season, scoring twice.

Hoever had been a part of the Ajax set-up since he was 12 - having been snapped up from rivals AZ Alkmaar.

Hoever, who has been capped at under 16 and 17 level for Holland, is a versatile defender who can also play at centre back if required.
