'Including Liverpool' - Jurgen Klopp sent clear message over Evan Ferguson transfer
Liverpool hero Dirk Kuyt believes that Brighton's Evan Ferguson should be on his former club's radar whilst insisting that Virgil van Dijk is still 'one of the best'.
Ferguson, 18, has broken into Roberto De Zerbi's Seagull's squad like so many youth prospects have done before.

Brighton may be competing in European football for the first time in the club's history, beginning with the Europa League group stages later this month. However that hasn't prevented players such as Alexis Mac Allister seeking switches to top-flight rivals in order to advance their careers.
In his current form, Kuyt has tipped Ferguson to be one of the next Brighton prospects to earn himself a transfer and feels that Liverpool should be in the mix for a player that rejected them at academy level.
