Ajax Star Could Move
Ajax have already begun making plans to fill a potential
void left by centre-back Toby Alderweireld, by lining up approaches for Mike
van der Hoorn and Lerin Duarte.
Alderweireld has been courted by Liverpool and Bayer
Leverkusen this summer, and appears certain to move abroad.
It means Ajax have some big shoes to fill, as Alderweireld
played 33 times in the Eredivisie and appeared in six Champions League
encounters with two in the Europa League as well.
He has been a mainstay for Ajax, but the club are eyeing FC
Utrecht defender Van der Hoorn as a potential replacement if either Liverpool
or Leverkusen manage the swoop.
Despite a European Under-21 Championship that saw Holland
concede seven goals, being eventually beaten by Spain, Van der Hoorn has been
hailed as a prospect for the future.
Coach Frank de Boer told Voetbal International: "If
Toby Alderweireld leaves, there would be a good right-footed central defender
who can take his place and compete with Joel Veltman [for the centre-back
position]."

LFC Sign Simon Mignolet
Liverpool Football Club have made their fourth signing with
Belgium international goalkeeper Simon Mignolet arriving from Sunderland.
The deal with the Black Cats is now complete and the
25-year-old has penned a long-term contract after passing a medical at Melwood.
He becomes the first Belgian to represent the Reds - and has
been welcomed to the club by manager Brendan Rodgers.
"I am delighted that we have been able to sign one of
the top goalkeepers in the Barclays Premier League," said Rodgers.
"Simon will join a club that will give him an
opportunity to demonstrate and improve his huge talent."
Mignolet is widely regarded as one of the best young
stoppers in Europe and has 13 caps for his country.

LFC Sign Luis Alberto
Liverpool Football Club have today completed the signing of
Spanish forward Luis Alberto from Sevilla, subject to international clearance.
The 20-year-old, who can play anywhere across the attacking
line, has penned a long-term contract after passing a medical at Melwood. He
spent the 2012-13 campaign on loan at Barcelona B, where he notched an
impressive 11 goals - and was devastating with his creativity, providing 17
assists in 38 appearances.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers said: "We are all delighted
that Luis has decided to join Liverpool. "He has the correct footballing profile
and mentality to be a Liverpool player. "I look forward to working with
him to develop his talent and he joins a group of young exciting players at our
club."
The Spaniard has represented his country at three different
age levels. He has turned out for the U18s, U19s and made his U21s bow against
Belgium in February.
Managing director Ian Ayre said, It's fantastic news. He's a
player that Brendan identified very early on and the scouting team did a lot of
work on watching him. After that the hard work started in terms of getting the
deal together, both with his club and his agent. We're always pleased when that
comes to fruition. He's a very exciting player and I know Brendan is very
excited about it. So hopefully our fans can be too.
Alberto represents the third piece of business done between
Liverpool and Sevilla. The previous two deals were the Reds' signings of
Spanish defenders Antonio Barragan and Daniel Ayala in 2005 and 2009
respectively.
