Liverpool is interested in the 23-year-old defender, while Arsenal is planning a formal bid.

Lutsharel Geertruida is a possible target for Arsenal and Liverpool, who are hoping to bolster their defensive options this summer, according to Fichajes.

The 23-year-old last defender has shown promise in the Eredivisie this year, and the two English teams may see value in acquiring him. He can play a variety of defence positions, and his adaptability will give the team much-needed depth and tactical flexibility. Next season, Liverpool could really use someone like him.

It’s possible that Geertruida would find it appealing to rejoin Arne Slot at Anfield, but it’s unclear if Liverpool will be able to close the transaction. The defender is capable of playing defensive midfield, central defence, and full-back. His arrival would enable Liverpool to better rotate their team because he can fill a variety of roles.

Liverpool needs a deeper roster to do well in a variety of events, including the UEFA Champions League, where they will compete in next season.

Arsenal targeting Geertruida

Arsenal, meanwhile, also needs to add more talent to their roster. They will be looking to go all the way this time around after losing to Manchester City in the title game the previous two seasons. It might be a good idea to sign a versatile defender, and it will be intriguing to see whether they can oust Liverpool for his services.

According to the source, Arsenal is already getting ready to make a formal bid for the defender, therefore Liverpool will most likely need to move fast to finalise the transaction.

It is unclear where Geertruida will ultimately play, but both teams have the financial wherewithal to sign him. The youngster will find moving to the Premier League to be an intriguing prospect, and he will be tempted to sign with both clubs.
