Liverpool have already finalized a deal to appoint Feyenoord manager Arne Slot at the end of the season. However, the news coincided with a lackluster draw against West Ham, likely dashing their hopes of clinching the Premier League title this season.
With their focus shifting towards the Slot era and little at stake in their remaining matches, Liverpool’s attention is now on the future. It seems that even Feyenoord’s Lutsharel Geertruida is intrigued by what lies ahead for the Reds.
Geertruida confirmed his presence at London Stadium by sharing his attendance on social media. The 23-year-old has been a key figure for Slot this season, featuring prominently in Feyenoord’s lineup. Primarily a right-back, Geertruida is versatile and comfortable playing centrally or even on the left side of defense when needed.

Liverpool icon Dirk Kuyt, who has been associated with both Feyenoord and Liverpool, previously advocated for the Reds to pursue Geertruida. Speaking to the Liverpool Echo in April 2023, Kuyt praised Feyenoord’s talent pool, including players like Orkun Kokcu and Geertruida, and expressed hope that Liverpool would show interest in signing them. As a former coach of Feyenoord’s under-19s, Kuyt recognized the potential of young talents like Geertruida and believed they could thrive at a top club like Liverpool.
