Luis Suarez on the Liverpool radar?

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez is reported to be monitoring the form of Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez with a view to a January transfer window move.

The Ajax star has been in superb form in Holland and reports in the Dutch press suggest a possible swap deal involving Ryan Babel who has still to cement a regular place in the Liverpool team.

Last season Suarez scored 22 goals in 31 league appearances, although Ajax were not able to secure a Champions League place having finished in third place in the Dutch League.

Ajax’s failure to qualify led Suarez to urge the club to bring in fresh, quality talent.

He told Sportsweek in the summer, “It would definitely be useful for Ajax to sign some quality players. It’s up to the coach to decide on which position we need to strengthen the squad. However, we could use some physically strong players in my opinion.

“I’m extremely disappointed that we failed to qualify for the Champions League once again. I need to play at top level in order to keep improving as a player.

“Nevertheless, missing out on Champions League football is not just bad for me, but also disastrous for the club. Ajax have to wait yet another year to play at the highest level.”
