No Reds Move For Ajax Ace

Urby Emanuelson's agent has played down reports linking Liverpool with a move for the Ajax defender.

Reports have suggested Liverpool have targeted the Dutch international to help solve their problematic left-back position.

Emanuelson's future at Ajax has been the subject of speculation for some time with the player rejecting a new deal at the Amsterdam ArenA and his contract expiring in the summer.

New Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is thought to be keen to bring in some new faces to freshen up the squad at Anfield and Emanuelson has been mentioned as a possible target due to his versatility in that he can play in defence or midfield.

Emanuelson's, representative, Brian Berkleef, insists he has had no contact with Liverpool, but that the Dutchman would consider a move to Anfield if they came calling for his services.

"Nobody from Liverpool has contacted us about Urby, but they are a great club and we would be happy to talk to them if they were to contact us," Berkleef told skysports.com.

"Obviously there is a lot of clubs interested in Urby as he is a talented player and he is out of contract in the summer.

"It is a bit tricky as Ajax could make some money by selling him now, but I think he will stay until the end of the season as he wants to try and win the championship with Ajax.

"However, if a good offer arrives and Urby feels good about it he would consider moving this month."
