INSIDER: I know Liverpool, Man Utd scouts have watched Van de Beek

Liverpool and Manchester United are among clubs keen on Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek.

That's according to Dutch football expert Marcel van der Kraan, who has revealed to Sky Sports that several giants have sent scouts to watch Van de Beek - whose contract expires in 2022.

He said: "This is probably the biggest chance of a move happening this summer. If I had to put my money on a player leaving, it would be Donny van de Beek.

"He is a perfect backup for many clubs. He is not the No 1 for most clubs - I have seen scouts from Tottenham, Man United, Everton, Liverpool and Newcastle at Ajax Amsterdam Arena watching him a number of times.

"He is an ideal player for the Premier League, he has the skills, like most Ajax players, and a big tank so he can run all day. But all these clubs have a priority list and Van de Beek seems the perfect backup for the big clubs.

"I think he is keen on the Premier League, more than the Bundesliga or Serie A and if I had to put my money on a player leaving this summer, it would be Van de Beek."
