Liverpool’s James McConnell is expected to become Ajax’s new number six. The Amsterdam club are nearing a loan agreement with the Reds.
Voetbal International’s Tim van Duijn reports that manager John Heitinga is optimistic surrounding a loan deal for the 20-year-old midfielder. Initially, Ajax were targeting a player with more experience. However, with the failed move for Edson Álvarez, and Heitinga knowing McConnell from his time on Merseyside, this move brought about compromise.
So far in his career, McConnell has made 13 first-team appearances for Liverpool, including three in the Premier League. The former Sunderland youngster also have one appearance for the England U20 side.
