iverpool Touted To Move For Dutch Sensation

Liverpool is being touted with a move for PSV Eindhoven's Dutch starlet Georginio Wijnaldum.

The 20-year-old attacking midfielder, who has been likened to Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, is gaining the attention of a number of European clubs, after growing unsettled following his €5 million summer switch from Feyenoord.

Wijnaldum has been lauded for his attacking style and dribbling abilities, and is reportedly being lined up for a January move after only four months in Eindhoven.

While the player and his agent haven't mentioned any potential suitors as of yet, the Dutch international is believed to be keen on a move to Premier League giants Liverpool.

Wijnaldum is a huge fan of Dirk Kuyt, and following his success in the Premier League, has previously expressed a desire to follow in Kuyt's footsteps.

If Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish were to give the go-ahead for the player's transfer, it is expected that PSV would want to recoup most of his initial fee.

Despite not featuring regularly for Eindhoven this season, Wijnaldum was granted his first international cap against San Marino in a Euro 2012 qualifying match. He marked his debut with a goal in an 11-0 thrashing.
