The girlfriend of Ajax defender Jurrien Timber has been house hunting in Liverpool as Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag risks losing out to another transfer target to a close rival.
Liverpool began their January transfer window by completing the signing of Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven. The Dutch international had been in the process of negotiating a deal with United, who were not decisive on a deal for the forward.
The Eredivisie has unsurprisingly been a key market for Ten Hag – recruiting Antony and Lisandro Martinez from his former club Ajax last summer, alongside signing Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord. Dutch international striker Wout Weghorst arrived on a loan deal in January.
