Former Liverpool assistant coach John Heitinga has used new Reds signing Milos Kerkez as an example for Owen Wijndal to follow in the Netherlands after speaking with Arne Slot.

Wijndal was previously at AZ Alkmaar, just like the Hungarian, before he moved to Ajax for a fee of around $11.7 million (£8.7 million).
