According to <\/span>ADSportwereld<\/span><\/a>, Liverpool <\/span>are interested in signing<\/span> Feyenoord defender Lutsharel Geertruida in the summer transfer window. The Premier League side are impressed with the youngster\u2019s progress and want to add him to their ranks ahead of next season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is Lutsharel Geertruida?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lutsharel Geertruida<\/a> came through the ranks of Feyenoord Academy. He made his senior team debut back in 2017 but <\/span>was given<\/span> limited opportunities. However, he grabbed the chances with both hands and kept on improvising.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, Geertruida built a reputation and has established himself as a regular starter. He played a vital role in helping the Dutch outfit finish in second position in the league this season. He featured in 47 games, netted nine goals and provided five assists.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 23-year-old plays as a right-back but can also feature in other positions in the backline if required. <\/span>He<\/span> has <\/span>strong attacking<\/span> traits and <\/span>great<\/span> abilities on the ball. However, he needs to work on his crossing, <\/span>which is<\/span> an essential feature of a full-back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Should Liverpool sign Lutsharel Geertruida?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Liverpool already have the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a> and Conor Bradley for the right-back role. Hence, their alleged interest in Lutsharel Geertruida is quite surprising. But it might be due to the uncertainty over the future of Arnold at the Anfield.<\/span><\/p>\n

The English full-back has <\/span>been linked<\/span> to Real Madrid move for some months. If Arnold leaves, it will be a big blow to the Reds <\/span>as<\/span> he is an integral part of the setup. Therefore, the club might want to secure the position in <\/span>case an emergency arises<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, Geertruida is also versatile enough to play as a centre-back. It means he will add depth to the unit and could fill the spot created by Joel Matip\u2019s departure. Acquiring the 23-year-old shouldn\u2019t be a costly deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

The defender runs out of the contract at the end of next season, which means Feyenoord will <\/span>be forced<\/span> to make money out of him. Additionally, Liverpool manager Arne Slot<\/a> has worked with the player previously <\/span>and<\/span> a reunion might tempt the youngster.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
