Lynne Cameron/Getty Images Liverpool midfield talent James McConnell has revealed he is learning from ‘fantastic’ Everton flop Davy Klaassen, who he thinks is ‘so smart’ on the pitch. Club Years Ajax 2011-2017 Everton 2017-2018 Werder Bremen 2018-2020 Ajax 2020-2023 Inter Milan 2023-2024 Ajax 2024- Davy Klaassen’s career history Now 32 years old and on the books at Ajax, McConnell is an admirer of Klaassen and believes he is learning from him.

“He has a fantastic football mind… he’s so smart.” At Everton, Klaassen soon found himself playing under Sam Allardyce, who succeeded Koeman in the dugout. He returned to Ajax from Werder Bremen in 2020 and soon after claimed that the training sessions with the Dutch giants were at a much higher level than those he experienced at Everton.

Now Liverpool will keep a close eye on McConnell as he looks to learn from the likes of Klaassen before a return to Anfield. Ironically, Klaassen could end up helping Everton’s fierce rivals if he plays a key role in the development of McConnell.
