Liverpool look likely to have to accelerate their interest in Ajax midfielder Christian Eriksen if they wish to ensure the Danish youngster ends up at Anfield.
The Reds are known to be tracking the 19-year-old and have repeatedly been linked with a bid for his services, although Ajax has remained adamant that Eriksen will not leave the Amsterdam ArenA.
Now though the Dutch side’s resolve is set to be tested to the limit as AC Milan bid to scoop up the promising player in January.
AC Milan are on the lookout for another midfielder and, ideally, will sign a player not just for the here and now, but the future too – and Eriksen is on their agenda.
Liverpool is thought to have been plotting a swoop for the attacking midfielder, but not before the end of the season. Firm interest from Milan could flush out the Merseyside giants.
Ironically, one of the reasons Milan have set their sights on Eriksen is to bring out the very best in midfielder Alberto Aquilani, loaned to the Rossoneri by Liverpool in the summer.
Aquilani has impressed at Milan, but coach Massimiliano Allegri believes there is much more to come from the former Roma midfielder.
Another concern is veteran Clarence Seedorf’s ageing legs – Eriksen would be a perfect long term replacement.
