Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez has said that he would not like to be compared to Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk as speculation continues to mount over a potential move to the Premier League.
Both Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly in talks with Dutch giants Ajax to sign the Argentinian defender. Described as a ball-playing centreback, Martinez can also play defensive midfield and left back. Ajax are eyeing a deal worth over £40m for their 2021/22 player of the year.
At just 5ft 9in, Martinez isn't the tallest of defenders but has likened his style of play to former Italian World Cup winner Fabio Cannavaro. But in doing so, Martinez made sure to clarify that he is nothing like Reds defender Van Dijk and claimed that the Dutch star's height is 'worth nothing' when 'you don't have the other qualities.'
