Feyenoord defender attends Liverpool game after Dirk Kuyt transfer recommendation

Feyenoord defender Lutsharel Geertruida seemingly attended Liverpool's 2-2 draw with West Ham United on Saturday afternoon.

Geertruida, the vice-captain of Arne Slot's side, uploaded an image of the game at the London Stadium on his Snapchat story and appeared to be seated within the away section among other Reds supporters.

The 23-year-old has been tentatively linked with a move to Anfield in recent days following the news his current manager will be Merseyside-bound this summer, replacing Jurgen Klopp in the dugout.

Geertruida has enjoyed a strong development process under Slot after winning the Eredivisie last season and the Dutch cup this campaign, playing the vast majority of matches in various positions across the backline.

The timing of his decision to go and watch the Reds is interesting and will only add to the idea of a possible transfer to the club, particularly as Geertruida has only one year remaining on his deal.

One individual who has been aware of the qualities possessed by the Netherlands international is none other than former Red Dirk Kuyt, who told the ECHO last year Geertruida was a player he would like to see signed by Liverpool.

“I am a Feyenoord man and they are doing very well at the moment,” Kuyt said. "They have a very good manager in Arne Slot and some of the younger guys like Orkun Kokcu and Lutsharel Geertruida are knocking on the door and playing very well. It won’t take long for the interest of top European teams to be there for them. I hope Liverpool is interested in Feyenoord players, and I am an example it can work!

“When I was working as under-19s coach, Kokcu and Geertruida were in my team at the time. At Ajax you now have the likes of Jurrien Timber and Kenneth Taylor, who we were playing against. You know who the talented players are and you can see they are going to have big futures. Gakpo was a great talent and everyone knew from watching him at youth level that he would one day play for a club like Liverpool.”
