Liverpool are reportedly keeping close tabs on Ajax defender Anton Gaaei ahead of a potential summer transfer. The 22-year-old has emerged as one of the highly-rated right-backs in Europe, and the Reds are monitoring his performance.
As per TBR Football journalist Graeme Bailey, the Premier League side had their scouts watching the Danish defender recently. Liverpool's interest in Gaaei comes amid Trent Alexander-Arnold's uncertain future at Anfield.
The Englishman's contract is due to expire in the summer and he has yet to sign an extension. Alexander-Arnold has been heavily courted by Real Madrid. His failure to pen a new deal suggests that he could be running down his contract to join the Spanish giants on a free transfer.

He has been a regular for his club this season, contributing a goal and five assists in 31 matches across competitions.
Whether Alexander-Arnold leaves Anfield or not, acquiring the services of a young and talented fullback like Gaaei will be a huge addition for the Reds. The move will also be a step up in the player's career, offering him the opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
