Ajax winger Mika Godts has been urged by De Telegraaf’s football editor, Valentijn Driessen, not to join Liverpool in the summer transfer window, should the defending Premier League champions come calling for him.

Driessen said about Godts on the Kick-off podcast, as relayed by Voetbal Primeur: “He’s Ajax’s best player right now.

“But he squandered a golden opportunity against NEC to give Ajax the victory.

“He was a bit lucky to have scored that goal, although that counts too.

“You can also criticise him for ensuring Ajax only got one point, not three.”

Driessen added: “Where is his ceiling? Way above the Eredivisie, but he needs to make progress.

“You shouldn’t put him at Liverpool now; that won’t help either.

“Cody Gakpo is struggling there, but you don’t need to put him in that position now.

“He’s not going to play much better than Gakpo.”
