Daniel Agger: Christian Eriksen is everything Liverpool need
DANIEL AGGER believes fellow Dane Christian Eriksen would be a perfect fit for Liverpool, but Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund have entered the chase to sign the playmaker.
We aim to become a passing team, keeping the ball on the ground
Dortmund have opened talks with Eriksen’s agent over a summer move from Ajax to replace Mario Gotze, who is bound for Bayern Munich.
The move complicates Liverpool’s interest and Agger said: “We aim to become a passing team, keeping the ball on the ground.
“He represents exactly that style. Eriksen is the type we need.”
Liverpool defender Lloyd Jones, 17, who was on the substitutes’ bench for the first time against Fulham on Sunday, has been given a three-year contract.
