Marc Overmars has confirmed that Liverpool have scouted Ajax star man Christian Eriksen a number of times this season as reports circle that he is Brendan Rodgers’ top transfer target.
The Dane has been earmarked as one of the hottest talents in European football and with just one year remaining on his contract he is expected to leave Amsterdam.
Reports in the Dutch and English media have subsequently claimed that Liverpool are favourites to snap up Eriksen in a transfer worth around €20million (£16.9m).
Ajax technical director Overmars would not comment on the transfer rumours, but acknowledged that Liverpool have regularly had scouts watching their games.
"We have a list of scouts from foreign clubs who have visited us and Liverpool have been a frequent visitor," Overmars told De Telegraaf.
Eriksen has been repeatedly linked with a move to the Premier League, with Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur among the other clubs to have a reported interest.
