Holland U19 international Jordy Brouwe could be set for a move to Liverpool.
The Ajax youngster has been working his way up through the club's famed academy and his performances are believed to have impressed Anfield scouts.
However, Ajax technical director Martin van Geel admits that he is somewhat surprised that Liverpool have so aggressively touted Brouwe.
"We didn't have the complete conviction that he was ready for it." Van Geel admitted to AD Sportwereld.
"At Ajax we talked about Jordy a lot, and that doubt stay after Liverpool expressed their interest."
"I say that without bitterness, because I wish Jordy all the success at Liverpool."
