Liverpool FC, Ajax Agree €25M Transfer Fee For Luis Suarez

Suarez, 24, should play on the right side of Liverpool’s front line, although he has a habit of cutting inside to attack the goal. His ability to hold his position out wide will allow Torres plenty of space in the centre, which is unusual for a striker of Suarez’s goalscoring record: Most players capable of scoring 81 goals in 108 appearances for Ajax would favour operating centrally. I don’t think anyone will deny that this is a brilliant pickup for Liverpool, and this should be a huge boost in their push to reclaim their spot amongst Europe’s elite.

Liverpool had been chasing Suarez for several weeks but until today had been consistently rebuffed for their low bids of roughly €18M, and talks were at one point declared dead. Obviously, the increased offer was much more to Ajax’s liking. All that’s left for Suarez to do now, apparently, is to take a medical. Expect him to be introduced to the fans shortly after that’s complete.
