The English Premiership side have already recruited 21-year-old UC Sampdoria goalkeeper Daniele Padelli and 18-year-old CA Boca Juniors defender Emiliano Insúa during this transfer window as they look to invest in the future, and they now have the talented Brouwer on the books. "We have made a good signing for the future in Jordy," said Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry. "He has had a youth contract at Ajax, but has opted to build his career at Liverpool. We have been monitoring his progress and look forward to developing his potential at Anfield."
