Justin Setterfield/Getty Images Dutch journalist Valentijn Driessen believes that the ceiling of Ajax’s Belgian attacker Mika Godts is above the Eredivisie, and he should make a move, but not to Liverpool. Still just 20, the Belgian has already raised eyebrows with his performances on the pitch for Dutch giants Ajax, where he played under former Reds assistant John Heitinga for part of the campaign.

Driessen is of the opinion that Godts is currently the best player in the Dutch top-flight and his potential is well beyond playing in the Eredivisie. However, Driessen believes that Godts cannot be an immediate solution to Liverpool’s problems, with walking into a tough situation not to his benefit and pointing to Cody Gakpo’s performances.

“He’s not going to play much better than Gakpo.” Dutch winger Gakpo has played 25 of Liverpool’s 27 league games, scoring five goals and setting up three more for his team-mates. Godts has played football at the different youth levels for Belgium, starting with their Under-15 ranks but has yet to make his debut for their national team.
