His versatility allows him to operate effectively in various midfield and forward roles, making him an attractive option for Liverpool who would love to have a player like Simons in their squad.

The Reds have a heavy Dutch contingent at Liverpool at the moment in Virgil Van Dijk, Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch.

All of them have been instrumental in Liverpool’s title win this season and Slot is now looking to add another Dutchman to the squad.
