Liverpool are favourites to sign Christian Eriksen after Ajax technical director Marc Overmars confirmed they have persistently scouted the midfielder this season.
Eriksen will be one of the hottest transfer targets in Europe this summer when he leaves Ajax - he has 12 months remaining on his contract but he will not sign another deal - yet the groundwork Liverpool have put means they are heading the chase.
The Denmark international is aware of Liverpool's interest and has been impressed with the way Luis Suarez has thrived after making a similar move to Anfield from Amsterdam in January 2011.
Tottenham are also interested in Eriksen, who turned down an approach from Manchester City two summers ago, but Overmars said Liverpool's continued presence has been noted.
'We have the list of scouts of foreign clubs who have been here recently and Liverpool have been a regular visitor,' Overmars said.
'We want him to stay here for at least two more years, but the day he leaves, he will be ready to play for the very best. He is a player that even the biggest clubs in the world could do with having in their squad.'
