Rodgers is also hoping to lure Eriksen’s Ajax team-mate Toby Alderweireld this summer, the adaptable defender is seen by the Liverpool manager as the ideal defensive addition to help boost his options at the back. The Belgian international has a solid basis of experience at the highest level with over 200 appearances for club and country and the fact that the one club man can effectively fill both centre-back and right-back berths is an added bonus.
Everton and Southampton have both been linked with interest in the 24 year old but Rodgers is confident he can tempt the intelligent defender to Anfield and is ready to offer the Eredivisie giants £30m for the pair.
