Liverpool are hoping to quickly complete a deal to bring Ajax wonderkid Ki-Jana Hoever to Anfield.
Right-back Hoever has been training at Kirkby Academy this week - with his contract at the Dutch giants running out at the end of last season.
The 16-year-old managed 13 appearances for Ajax's under 17 side last season, scoring twice.
Hoever had been a part of the Ajax set-up since he was 12 - having been snapped up from rivals AZ Alkmaar, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.
Hoever, who has been capped at under 16 and 17 level for Holland, is a versatile defender who can also play at centre back if required.

Liverpool have already bolstered their Academy ranks with some exciting signings this summer.
England Under-17s striker Bobby Duncan was snapped up from Manchester City. The lifelong Reds fan is the cousin of Kop legend Steven Gerrard.

The Reds have also secured the services of Isaac Christie-Davies from Chelsea. The 20-year-old midfielder completed a free transfer after impressing on trial towards the end of last season.
