Arsenal are emerging as a major rival to Liverpool for Ajax midfielder Christian Eriksen. The Dane has declared he intends to leave in the summer and Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is eager to bring him to England.
Liverpool have been regarded as favourites for Eriksen's signature due to the pressure of Denmark captain Dan Agger.
However, Dutch sources say Ajax football chief Marc Overmars and assistant coach Dennis Bergkamp have both urged Eriksen to consider Arsenal as his next destination.
