Liverpool - Urby Emanuelson's agent stokes Anfield transfer rumours

Liverpool are being heavily linked with a free transfer move for Ajax full-back Urby Emanuelson.

The Dutch international defender's contract talks have broken down at the Amsterdam Arena, leaving agent Brian Berkleef to hint that the player could leave the club for free in the summer.

Roy Hodgson is thought to have targeted the 24-year-old as competition for Paul Konchesky at Liverpool, and the player's versatility as a potential left winger is also thought form part of the Merseyside club's interest.

“There are plenty of interested clubs. I won’t confirm or deny any names though. However, I’ve told interested teams that Urby won’t leave Ajax during the winter transfer window,” said Berkleef.

The news means that Liverpool could sign the player for free on a pre-contract agreement in January, meaning he would move to Anfield in the summer.

Emanuelson joined the famous Ajax academy in 1994, and worked his way through the youth system before making his debut as a teenager in 2005.

Capped 11 times by Holland, the player is not short of experience with well over 200 appearances in the Eredivisie, Champions League, and Europa League.

New Liverpool owners NESV have promised the manager a transfer war chest in the region of £35 million, and Hodgson is thought to have targeted 'five or six' players for moves in the opening month of 2011.

Dutch paper De Telegraaf link a host of European clubs with a move for Emanuelson, but Liverpool are thought to be at the front of the queue for the talented player.

Not seem much of him to base an opinion tbh but most of the comments about him have been positive. 24 is a good age too.

I thought you were talking about Royston Drenthe

Would be quite an expensive solution though seeing as he's a hot topic atm, is young and english and has (as far as I know) quite recently signed a new contract with Newcastle.

Nothing new about Adam Johnson's situation at City btw Lee? I wouldn't mind him slapping in a transfer request and join up with the reds (he'd be a regular no probs me thinks)

Adam reckons he's gone from City in the summer but has an improved contract to ponder from City. Cant way them up, they want him to sign a new deal but don't wanna play him. The way he see's it he is wasting his time as he needs first team footie to develop and break into the England set up as a regular too.

Shame but he's riding them for the money at the moment, despite the fact he's only on about £29 grand a week.

Never heard of him but if he is half decent then grab him as he would be better option than our current LB's.

Apparently the Celtic LB (can't pronounce his name) is a cracking player and too good for the SPL. Mayb worth a look as wouldn't take a huge offer for Celtic to part company with him.
