Virgil van Dijk has already given green light for Liverpool to hijack second Man Utd transfer
Jurrien Timber, the highly-rated Ajax defender, has attracted attention from top clubs including Manchester United and Liverpool. Timber was previously linked with a move to Manchester United last year when his former manager Erik ten Hag was expected to join the club. However, Timber decided against the move and remained at Ajax. Now, with an agreement in place for his departure from the Dutch giants this summer, speculation suggests that Liverpool could attempt to hijack any potential transfer, especially after Timber's girlfriend was spotted house hunting in Merseyside.
Although Jurgen Klopp's priority for the upcoming transfer window is reportedly a midfield overhaul, there are suggestions that Liverpool might still be interested in acquiring Timber's services. Interestingly, Virgil van Dijk, the Liverpool colossus and Dutch national team captain, has already praised Timber's abilities. Van Dijk, having played alongside Timber for the Netherlands, expressed admiration for the young defender, stating that Timber is already a better player at his age than van Dijk was during his youth. Van Dijk emphasized Timber's potential and professionalism, expressing hope for his continued development.
If Liverpool decides to make a bid for Timber in the summer, it could potentially disrupt another transfer plan of Manchester United's, as Liverpool recently beat them to the signing of Cody Gakpo. The rivalry between the two clubs adds intrigue to the potential transfer battle for Timber's signature.
Meanwhile, Liverpool has secured the future of another promising young defender. Eighteen-year-old Luke Chambers, who has been with the Reds since the age of six, has signed a new contract with the club. Chambers is seen as a promising prospect for the left-back and center-back positions. Currently on loan at Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock, Chambers has already made 11 appearances since his move to Scotland in January.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the competition for Jurrien Timber's signature heats up, with Manchester United and Liverpool both expressing interest. While Timber's girlfriend's house hunting in Merseyside has fueled speculation of a potential move to Liverpool, it remains to be seen whether the Reds will prioritize a defensive signing amidst their midfield overhaul plans. Nevertheless, Virgil van Dijk's endorsement of Timber's talents adds weight to the possibility of Liverpool joining the race for the Ajax defender. Additionally, Liverpool has also secured the future of young prospect Luke Chambers, further strengthening their defensive options for the seasons to come.
