Liverpool are looking to wrap up a deal to sign highly-rated Ajax youngster Ki-Jana Hoever.

The 16-year-old right-back, who can also play at centre-back, has caught the eye of Reds scouts with his performances in his homeland.

The teenager is a Netherlands Under-16s international who has been on the books at Ajax since 2014. Before that he was in the youth set-up at AZ Alkmaar.

Hoever played 13 times and scored two goals in the Under-17 Eredivisie last season.

Liverpool have already bolstered their Academy ranks with some exciting signings this summer.
