Virgil van Dijk believes Ajax youngster Matthijs de Ligt is already on Liverpool's radar.
The 19-year-old is being chased by Manchester City and Barcelona.
And Van Dijk says Liverpool can be added to that list.
He told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf: "He is already very far, especially at that age. A good defender, good boy, calm, knows what he wants and hopefully he makes the right choice in his next step.
"He will be on the list, because they have enough scouts at the club."
When asked whether if he would be the best scout for Liverpool, van Dijk replied: "No, but if they need my opinion at Liverpool, I'll give it."
