Ajax star Perr Schuurs responds when asked about Liverpool interest

Ajax defender Perr Schuurs has insisted that he is not looking to leave the Dutch club anytime soon, amidst strong interest from Liverpool.

Recently, Italian media outlet Corriere dello Sport claimed that Liverpool had been in talks with the Dutch giants to sign the defender in January.

The Reds are looking to bolster their defence next month following the long-term injuries to Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk, and have reportedly earmarked Schuurs who would cost in the region of £27m.

However, the 21-year-old – who featured in the 1-0 defeat against Liverpool in the Champions League clash on Tuesday – has insisted that he is prepared to turn down a move to Anfield as he is focussed on playing for Ajax.
