Liverpool have a good chance of nabbing Ajax defender Perr Schuurs in the January transfer window.

The Reds are desperate to secure a centre-back given their injury problems.

Virgil Van Dijk and Joe Gomez are out and the Reds are very thin in that position at the moment.

De Telegraaf reports Liverpool have been told by Ajax they can sign Schuurs if they match the club's asking price.

The 21-year-old centre-back is rated at £27 million by his club.

Schuurs has started nine games out of ten in the Eredivisie this season, as his team sits comfortably at the top of the table.
